Graduate Student Open Forum (CMNS/ENGR/AGNR)
Graduate students are central to the University of Maryland’s mission and success. We ask you to join the Graduate School, along with leadership from the schools, colleges and Student Affairs, at one of our Graduate Student Open Forums. During these conversations, you can learn more about our campus efforts to support graduate students in their academic success, and help us learn about your experience and how we can continue to improve graduate education at UMD. We are hosting four open forums, each geared toward specific schools and colleges. However, students are welcome to attend any session that best fits your schedule.
