Overview
Each year, summer undergraduate research program coordinators from across campus offer a Grad School Mini Expo to our student participants. The goal is to help expose students to the idea of grad school, different types of grad school options, tips for applying, and what to do after grad school. This event is for any undergraduate student interested in grad school, no matter where you are in the process (from “I didn’t think grad school was for me” to “I know which programs I want to go into”).
Please join us for the 2022 Preparing my Next Steps: Graduate and Professional School Admissions Virtual Mini Expo
on Thursday, June 23, 1-4:00 PM, on Zoom..
