About the newsletter

Graduate Connections is an electronic newsletter for graduate students at UNL (and for faculty and staff interested in issues important to graduate students). This quarterly publication is intended to:

• bring you information to help you more easily make your way through your graduate school career
• link you with news about events planned and organized just for you
• provide you with timely information about deadlines and funding
• connect you with other graduate students at UNL

After a pilot issue in April 2006, the first regular issue of Graduate Connections was posted August 1, 2006, and issues will be published on a quarterly basis.

We welcome your comments and suggestions about how to help this newsletter connect you to information you need to make your career as a UNL graduate student fulfilling and rewarding. The Graduate Studies Office is committed to forging strong bonds with the students we serve, and we offer Graduate Connections as another tool in helping us fulfill that promise.
