The Truman Career Center will host a Graduate School Open House from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. April 15.

It is a buffet luncheon and any graduate student or faculty is welcome to stop by any time.

Students working on a thesis will share some of their work during the Master’s Thesis Symposium at 5 p.m. in the Health Sciences Building 2203. After providing a brief summary of their work, students will be available for a question and answer session.

The Thesis Symposium will be followed by the Graduate Student and Faculty Social at the University Club from 7-9 p.m.
