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 a $100 gift certificate to the University Bookstore.
