SMS Welcomes New Graduate Students

In August, the School welcomed its new class of 35 graduate students. They are a diverse group of men and women from 12 different states in the U.S. and Bangladesh, China, India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The students just completed an extensive two-week TA Training learning about the instructional philosophy of our undergraduate programs in addition an orientation to the PhD program and the research within the School of Molecular Sciences. They now embark on the next set of challenges: finding and settling into a research lab and finding a research topic into which they will pour countless hours and determination for the next several years.
