Graduate Student Orientation

Today I attended Memorial University's Graduate Student Orientation. The event featured welcome talks by the new university president, Dr. Gary Kachanoski, new Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Rob Shea, as well as keynote speaker, dean of the School of Graduate Studies, Dr. Noreen Golfman. Students could browse booths set up with information on numerous programs, services, and activities available on campus, enjoy a complementary breakfast, and attend afternoon discussions on the role of the supervisor/advisor and graduate officers; how to achieve a work/life balance while completing graduate studies. The day concluded with a campus tour.
