Graduate Connections: A Newsletter for UNL Graduate Students
Welcome to the pilot issue of Graduate Connections, an electronic newsletter for graduate students at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (and for faculty and staff interested in issues important to graduate students). This new quarterly publication is intended to bring you information to help you more easily make your way through your graduate school career, link you with news about events planned and organized just for you, provide you with timely information about deadlines and funding, and connect you with other graduate students at UNL.
The first regular issue of Graduate Connections will appear September 1, and quarterly after that …
