Register Now for the "Welcome to Your CMU Community & Introduction to the Graduate Orientation Experience" Webinar!

Dear Incoming Graduate Students,

We are pleased to send you the link to register for the first webinar in the Pre-Arrival Webinar Series: “Welcome to Your CMU Community & Introduction to the Graduate Orientation Experience.” Please register using your CMU email address. This webinar will take place on Monday, June 16, from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time

Webinar details:

Join the Office of Graduate & Postdoctoral Affairs for an overview of the graduate student onboarding and orientation experience at Carnegie Mellon University! Learn about what to expect throughout the summer as you prepare for your arrival on-campus. Office and divisional leadership will share details about key office initiatives; orientation programming, including additional details about the Pre-Arrival Webinar Series; the orientation Canvas course; the schedule for the on-campus University-Wide New Graduate Student Orientation; details about what to expect after orientation; and much more.

We hope you are able to join us for the webinar, where there will also be an opportunity to submit your questions live. We will strive to answer the most requested topics and then work in various ways to follow up on those we may not have time to address. Regardless, much of the material shared will be covered in the orientation Canvas course that will be released later this summer.

If you have any related questions or concerns, please let us know by emailing graded@andrew.cmu.edu. We hope you will join us!

Sincerely,

Dr. Amy Burkert, Senior Vice Provost for Academic Initiatives

Dr. Maggie Sikora, Director for Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs

Margo Littell, Program & Operations Coordinator for Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs
