Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce our planning for Graduate Student Orientation (GSO) to welcome our incoming graduate Bruins!
Graduate Student Orientation focuses on transitioning our new graduate Bruins to UCLA life, as well as introducing them to the various resources available to them.
This year, GSO will emphasize the importance of creating Connections through the introduction of resources and opportunities to build community with your partnership.
In addition, most of our updates and links to services will be posted on this website and updated weekly.
We look forward to connecting with you soon and if you are tabling at our resource fair or presenting this year, keep a look out for an email sometime in early July to sign up. If you are interested in presenting and it will be your first time, please do not hesitate to reach out and we will add you to our list of presenters. A stakeholder calendar invitation will be sent soon.
