The Department of Biology and Wildlife staff and I would especially like to welcome our new graduate students. This information packet is intended to help new and returning students in our department successfully complete their graduate degrees. Please let Jobie, Carol or me know what you found useful in this packet, what you wish was in the packet that isn't, and what we should consider omitting in future additions. The Department of Biology and Wildlife staff and I are available to offer our help and assistance whenever you have questions or concerns.
