August 18-24, 2011
The Graduate College and the graduate student organizations on campus host an annual Graduate Student Welcome Week at the beginning of the fall semester. Students are encouraged to attend the Welcome Reception and Resource Fair, which provides new and current graduate students with a great opportunity to connect with peers and faculty. Graduate College staff and representatives from additional university and community organizations are also present to provide information and answer questions about many of the services available on campus and in Norman.
Additional Welcome Week activities are designed to provide assistance to students as they begin a new semester and, for many, get used to a new school and community. Event schedules and program details for Welcome Week are posted below. Click on the event for detailed information.
Please register for Welcome Week events. We look forward to seeing you there!REGISTER FOR WELCOME WEEK 2011 EVENTS!
