Milestone Meetings.
These are mandatory, once-a-year meetings for each graduate cohort with the Director of Graduate Studies, Dr. Palmer. The goal is to make sure everyone is on track, informed, and equipped for what’s ahead in your specific year of the program.
 
What to Expect
Each meeting will include:
  • An overview of your program year’s major milestones (exams, reviews, proposals, etc.)
  • NEW graduate student procedures for the Program of Study in Degree Works
  • Key forms, deadlines, and administrative requirements
  • Time for questions, clarifications, and general guidance
In other words: everything you need to know to stay on course—delivered in one efficient, cohort-specific session.
