New Graduate Student Welcome

The Office of Graduate Studies will welcome new graduate students to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln at its annual New Graduate Student Welcome:

The event will begin in the Auditorium at 11:00 am with a one-hour program introducing students to a variety of aspects of graduate student life. Following the program, there will be a complimentary lunch and a come-and-go information fair featuring a variety of campus departments and community resources from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm in the Centennial Room.

This is an opportunity for you to meet fellow graduate students and to acquire some information on your department and community. In addition, we'll be giving away hundreds of door prizes, including our Grand Prize, a $100 gift certificate to the University Bookstore
