Graduate Student Orientation

Welcome to Kent State University!

Graduate Student Orientation is held prior to the start of fall and spring semesters, and all new graduate students are encouraged to attend. Whether you are a full- or part-time student, pursuing a master's or doctoral degree, GSO is for you! Don't miss the opportunity to learn about university resources and network with other new graduate students, along with representatives of Kent State's faculty, staff and administration.
