Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
New Student Orientation
August 6-8 , 2008
(Orientation is Mandatory!)
International Student Orientation: August 6, 2008
Tentative Fall Orientation Schedule
NOTES:
1). Punctuality: Throughout your education and, later, in your professional career, the habit of tardiness is one of the single most destructive traits you can possess. We ask that you be on time, not just for orientation, but for every class, workshop, and meeting you attend. It is a matter of professional courtesy to your fellow participants, orientation organizers, and session speakers. All orientation sessions are mandatory unless otherwise indicated. Failure to attend every session may result in dismissal.
2). Attire: We ask that you dress in "business casual" attire. It is not necessary to wear suits or dresses but t-shirts and shorts are not recommended. You will have your ID photo taken and will also be meeting several key administrators for the first time.
3). Please do not bring a spouse, parent, guest, child, etc. with you to orientation. Orientation programs are designed for incoming students only. Any individual not accepted into a graduate program for Fall 2008 will be asked to leave.
4). The Graduate Student Association is hosting a mixer at The Library, 611 Houston Street (downtown Fort Worth), on Thursday, August 9th at 7:00 p.m. Food will be provided and the bar offers drink specials all night. You will need a government-issued photo ID with your date of birth.
5). We are required to test each student for TB. TB tests will be administered on Friday, August 8 at 9:15 a.m. in the Student Clinic located in the Center for BioHealth. Clinic staff will be in Alcon Auditorium (CBH-220) at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, August 11th to read the test.
6). Important: All students receiving graduate assistantships must report to EAD-291 at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 6th to complete employment documentation.
