About GSO

GSO 2024

Graduate Student Orientation (2024) will be an orientation for all new graduate and professional students. GSO 2024 can be separated into 3 parts:

  1. GSO-Online - designed by the GSRC; is an only training module that walks students through the basic information, resources, and training they need to succeed on campus
  2. GSO-In Person Wellness Days - workshops, socials, networking opportunities, etc. organized by the GSRC, hosted by campus partners; trainings and information sessions to help prepare new students for their graduate careers and know the resources available to support them in all dimensions of their wellness
  3. New Graduate Student Welcome - organized and hosted by the Division of Graduate Education; a big welcome part with food and activities
