• Coordination of Orientation for new students each Fall
• Coordination of the Hooding Ceremony each Spring
• Approving graduate students to register for classes each semester
• Serving as the advisor for the Dean's Student Advisory Council (DSAC). DSAC coordinates workshops and seminars, social activities, and service projects.
• Coordination of all student awards at the School level

Please feel free to stop by our office (PHRC 108) with any questions or concerns; we will be happy to assist you or refer you to the appropriate office. You can also browse the other pages in this section to learn more about New Student Information, Student Travel Funding, and Graduation & Hooding.
