Abstract:
|
Using a panel discussion format, graduate academic advisors from different departments at Texas A&M University will share their approaches and experiences with recruiting and orienting top quality graduate students to campus life. These individuals believe that academic advising begins prior to a student matriculating into the graduate program. As such, the panel will detail their recruitment strategy, including travel grant/preview trips for prospective students, and will discuss the implementation of their respective new graduate student orientation programs. The panel members will discuss strengths, weaknesses, successes, and ways to improve, and will engage the audience to gather best practices among the attendees. |
