The College of Graduate Programs and Honors Studies<\/a> welcomed new graduate students to Wright State University with an orientation session and social and networking event in the Student Union on Sept. 1.<\/p>\n

The two free events were attended by almost 100 graduate students, Wright State campus leaders and several area community partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a good social thing for everyone,\u201d said Seth Murdock, a graduate biochemistry and molecular biology student. \u201cThere are a lot of international students here and a lot of people like me who doesn\u2019t know anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the hour-long orientation session, graduate students learned about important policies, procedures and guidelines for their graduate experience at Wright State.<\/p>\n

Murdock said this was his first time on Wright State\u2019s campus, and events like this are important to students who are unfamiliar with Wright State.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing here was a lot bigger than my undergraduate school so it was pretty intimidating coming in,\u201d said Murdock.<\/p>\n

The social and networking event followed during which students were able to enjoy free food, connect with their peers and meet employers and community partners.<\/p>\n

This was the first time the College of Graduate Programs and Honors Studies hosted the Graduate Student Orientation and Social Event for new graduate students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
