The Graduate School will host a Preparing for Graduate School seminar series throughout the fall 2021 semester.  The seminar, led by Wright Culpepper, Director of Recruitment for the Graduate School, will focus on getting prospective graduate students to approach the graduate school process differently than their experience selecting an undergraduate institution. 

Preparing for Graduate School will  break down how students can find their fit in a graduate program, and will spend time breaking down the common components of a graduate school application, which differs greatly from an undergraduate application.  Students can expect to receive general guidance on how to put together a competitive application beyond having a strong academic history and standardized test scores.  While most of the seminar shines a light on the application process, the final piece is a discussion on how to pursue funding for graduate school.

The seminar will be held in the  Russell House,  room 203,  on the following dates for the fall 2021 semester:

Friday, October 15, 2021
12-1 p.m.

Friday, November 5, 2021
