Senior

Hello Seniors!

Welcome to Spring 2021! 

Moving forward I will be available on WebEx @  https://jmu.webex.com/meet/mondsccl 
Monday 11:00-12:00pm
Tuesdays 11:00-12:00pm
Wednesdays 9:00-10:00am

If you want to ask my opinion about schools, have questions about assistantship applications, or what to base your decision off of come see me. I can answer general questions for multiple people at once or utilize the waiting room for personal questions. 

In addition to an extra hour each week, I encourage you to re-watch some portions of the Senior Session from the fall(can be found below). This can offer insight to what you should consider when picking your graduate school. 

Senior WebEx Sessions for Graduate School Applications!!

Join me for a meeting all things grad school! We will cover the basics for applications and have lots of time at the end for questions. Both sessions will be the same material so choose the time that best fits your schedule. You are welcome to come to both if more questions arise. One of the recordings will be posted on the blog.
