UT Orientation Leader 2014!!!

     It's that time of the year again!! Orientation season is upon us! Orientation is part of the new student program here at The University of Texas at Tyler. It helps incoming freshman transition to college. It also provides a different experience as they participate in a different program that exposes the campus and its resources to them. I can't wait for the sessions to start!

Graduate School Searching! PART 1

   One thing that I have been actively doing recently is looking into Grad. Schools across the US to see where I want to end up! Sometimes, staying at one school is good if you're going for your Undergrad/Masters, however going to one school for three tiers of education can be viewed as a "no no," (this referring to Undergrad/Masters/PhD).

   Some things to look for are:
   - Do the departments there teach what interests you?
   - Do the faculty support your idea(s)?
   - Is the city a good place to live?
   - Can you find work on campus, or elsewhere, to support yourself?

   These are only some of the things to look into, and I will go into this more here over the next few weeks!
