Graduate Student Orientation 2017
The Graduate School hosted Orientation on August 21, for about 1650 graduate students, 200 more than in previous years. In attendance was President Wallace D. Loh, who gave a heartfelt and inspiring message to a large crowd gathered in Stamp Union while also mingling with students throughout the day.
Statement from Interim Dean Jeffrey Franke on DACA
In response to President Trump’s decision to rescind DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), the Graduate School echoes what President Loh stated in his statement last week. The decision strikes at the heart of the values espoused by the students, faculty and staff of the Graduate School to ensure a welcoming, inclusive and just environment for all members of the University of Maryland graduate community.
