2021 New Graduate Student Orientations

Welcome to the College of Education. We look forward to seeing you during New Graduate Student Orientation Events. At orientation, you will have the opportunity to meet faculty, staff and peers. You will also learn about resources, working with your advisor and additional tips for a successful transition to graduate school. Unfortunatley, we have reached capacity and can no longer accept reservations for in-person participation. Please see below for information for students who are unable to attend in-person. 

Our orientation events will occur in-person at Miller Hall. We are following the UW's guidance on in-person events which may change without advance notice. At the moment, masks are required when indoors for all individuals regardless of vaccination status.
