Congratulations and welcome!
|
As Dean of the Graduate School, I am pleased to be among the first to welcome you to the University of Wisconsin–Madison. You have chosen to continue your education at one of the world’s preeminent research institutions. Our faculty and staff stand ready to help you unleash your creativity and inquisitiveness.
I urge you to take full advantage of the graduate school experience. Create an Individual Development Plan to discuss expectations and goals with your mentor(s). Seek communities of support and engage with others from diverse backgrounds, across all the disciplines. Find ways to connect with other students by looking for student organizations on campus or in your department, or by reaching out to more senior graduate students for mentorship and advice. Watch for more email communications from the Graduate School, which will let you know about more events where you can meet other students at the beginning of the semester.
I look forward to you joining our campus community this spring. On, Wisconsin!
William J. Karpus Dean of the Graduate School Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine University of Wisconsin–Madison
