Good afternoon,

I will be hosting Thesis Center information Sessions for students who are submitting their thesis or dissertation this Spring. The sessions will be about 50 minutes long. Advisors and faculty are also welcome and encouraged to attend.

There will be one session on University Park Campus, and one session on Health Sciences Campus:

• UPC: Wednesday February 28th^st, 2018 @ 12:00, in THH 301
• HSC: Wednesday March 7th, 2018 @12:00, in MCH 156

Topics will include important information for both students and advisors, such as:

Please pass this incredibly valuable information along to your students and faculty! There will be an opportunity for questions following the presentation. These dates and times will also be listed in myGradSchool for reference. Hope to see you there!
