In addition to the offices represented at the One-Stop Convenience Center, the New Graduate Student Welcoming Fair will feature offices and organizations of special interest to graduate students, including the Graduate College, Research Compliance, Sindecuse Health Center, University Libraries, the Graduate Student Advisory Committee, graduate student organizations, and others. Graduate students newly admitted for Summer I, Summer II, and Fall 2009 will be invited to drop in at the welcoming fair at their convenience; no advance registration is required..

Offices that would like to have a table at the New Graduate Student Welcoming Fair may reserve one by sending this reservation form to the attention of Julie Nemire in the Graduate College by July 15, 2009.
