New Graduate Student Orientation  

Orientation Toast

New grad students, welcome! 

Please join us for an orientation to NAU and graduate study, a chance to meet other students and faculty in your program, a resource fair, and door prizes. Breakfast and lunch are provided. 

Those with assistantships are required to stay for the afternoon for an introduction to teaching and research assistantship tools and methods. 

We hope you will find it a tremendous boost in getting comfortable at NAU! We look forward to meeting you.
