Hi, All:

For the new students, I just want to note that you’ll be getting GradNews once a week (Friday morning).  It may not be important to you on most Fridays, but it does contain important deadlines at the bottom, so it’s useful for that.  That is the main way that the Graduate School communicates with the graduate student body.

Cheers,
Dr. Wood
