In early August, we anticipate having our asynchronous Graduate Student Orientation (GSO) module available for all of our new graduate students and teaching assistants. The module will be hosted within Blackboard Learn and students registered for GSO will be enrolled in the course. We will offer live socials on the dates of GSO, which are August 20 (for all new graduate students) and August 21 (for all new teaching assistants. The schedule for those live sessions on the dates of GSO, will be announced later this summer.

Before the asynchronous GSO module is available, we are hosting a number of sessions throughout July and August for you to learn more about important resources and services for graduate students, while asking our presenters your questions. The sessions will be held via Blackboard and all students registered for GSO by July 1 will be automatically enrolled into the course. If you register for GSO after July 1 or have not registered yet, please email Kyle Reynolds at kreynol3@kent.edu at least 24 hours before the GSO live session you wish to attend and he can add you to the course. GSO Live sessions will be recorded for those unable to attend the session.
