A LOOK BACK AT TWO OF FALL’S CAREER EVENTS

Graduate School Information Week

WOU students got the chance to explore the graduate school admissions process and learn more about WOU grad programs during Graduate School Information Week, Oct 25th 29th. Included in the events were an information session on graduate school entrance exams by Kaplan, an information panel on WOU graduate studies hosted by the WOU’s Graduate Programs Office, a Personal Statement Writing Workshop given by Prof. Meg Artman, and an introduction to Financing a Graduate Education, presented by WOU Financial Aid’s Kim Lamborn. Students enjoyed the insight into the application process, appreciated the hints for taking exams and writing essays, and thanked Kim for a clear overview of graduate students’ options to paying for graduate studies! A big thanksto everyone whocameandpresented!
