Greetings to all incoming graduate and professional students of color! We are very excited to welcome you to the University and to help introduce you to the OMSA community and family.
This Friday, OMSA will host three events for our Graduate and Professional Student of Color Orientation: an open house and information session, a student panel, and a reception and social. We hope that graduate and professional students of color new to the University will learn about OMSA and 5710, gain connections and insights from our student panelists, and network and socialize with each other.
All OMSA staff will be present. We are eager to meet you so please come by. Each of us serves and interacts with graduate and professional students in a different way. But all of us are happy to hear your questions or concerns at any time.
