Dear Graduate School Community,
Happy summer! The summer heat is in full effect in Nashville this week. I want to highlight a few programs available this summer. In the Graduate School, Stacey Satchell is offering a Summer Critical Conversations program. I am also happy to share that the first of three grant writing workshops we have created in partnership with the Office of the Vice Provost for Research is now available in Oracle.
For students on campus this summer, I would like to remind you that Alumni Hall remains open for your use! The Graduate Student Lounge is a great space to study and connect with friends and the fitness center on the ground level is open for use.
Additionally, with the current rise in COVID cases in Davidson County, please review the recent changes to the campus masking policy. I also want to draw your attention to the note below about the availability of free at-home COVID tests in Sarratt 310.
Best,
