Information Fair and Welcome Dinner
Each fall semester, the Division of Graduate Education hosts a dinner for all new graduate students. The DGE hopes that this event will offer each new student the opportunity to meet with faculty, staff, students in their degree program and other students pursuing graduate degrees at Montana State University. Each dinner is highlighted by a motivating guest speaker who is familiar with graduate education at MSU, and who can entertain while offering great tips and words of advice to graduate students across the disciplines.
Various campus administrators take part in an Information Fair that precedes the dinner. Students have the opportunity to learn about many offices on campus and to become involved in campus events. Representatives have included University Police, MSU Libraries, Community Involvement, MSU Daycare, MSU One Card, Information Technology Center, Athletics and Intramurals, and many more.
Graduate Seminars
The Division of Graduate Education offers weekly seminars. These seminars are designed to assist graduate students in pursuit of their degree. Seminar topics include thesis formatting, stress strategies, time management, and many more. The presentations are delivered by a diverse and highly knowledgeable pool of MSU staff and faculty. The seminars are currently held on Tuesdays at noon so students can eat, mingle and get the answers to their specific questions during the lunch hour. See you there!
Graduate Teaching Assistant Orientation
A separate orientation is held for new graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) each fall and spring, usually the day before classes begin. Attendance by new graduate teaching assistants is required.
Training and Development Fee
A non-waivable training and development fee of $50 is assessed to each degree-seeking graduate student the first term of registration, whether the student is on-campus, being served via distance delivery, whether or not the student chooses to participate in the training and development opportunities. Students not assessed this fee are those registered for Extended University courses only, or are those who are non-degree students only.
