Attention CSD Seniors I will be holding an information session next Tuesday, October 1st at 12:30 about all things Grad School!  Please come out to Group Study Room A in SSC if you have any questions or just want comfort that there are a lot of people who most likely have the same questions as you! I will be covering topics from How to pick schools, to formating resumes. There will also be a second Info Session on Tuesday, October 15th if you are unable to make this one! Have a great day and hope to see you there! Kimberly LaVacca, Peer Advisor
