New Graduate and Professional Student Orientation (OGEL)
Monday, August 19, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. | Gluck Theater, Room Mountainlair
Most programs provide orientation sessions for new graduate students either before classes start or during the early part of the fall semester. Information is available from advisors and program directors.
The Office of Graduate Education and Life (OGEL) will offer a new student orientation session on Monday, August 19, for newly-admitted graduate and professional students. If your program is not offering an orientation session, we encourage you to attend. The OGEL orientation is not required; nonetheless, we strongly encourage newly admitted graduate students to attend because it covers a wide range of topics that may be helpful to your academic and personal success at WVU. This year, our orientation session will also include Title IX training. RSVP HERE.

Tickets will go on sale July 9 and the purchase link will be provided through E-News that day. Melanie Page and Morgan Haas are co-chairs of the event; questions can be sent to mcpage@mail.wvu.edu.
