Admissions Packets

Today is the last day of May. Some are worried because all items of their admissions packet have not arrived. Do not worry! June 1 is a Graduate Studies deadline but we have known that our admissions would continue beyond that date.

It is important to keep pushing ahead, however, because the Admissions Committee meets the end of June and if there are packets that need the attention of the committee, we want to be able to present them then.

I got my printout yesterday and am amazed how many of you are diligently at work with your admissions. Besides the incomplete packages, we have 30 who have been admitted and 5 pending.

A great cohort is shaping up! It will not be too long until I can send out the particulars concerning the orientation onsites. For those in WV, keep the dates August 10 and 11. The 10th will be an evening get-together for those who wish to travel in early. The 11th will be the day-long orientation. For those in VA, keep the dates August 12 and 13. The 12th will be the evening social for those who wish to come in early and stay over. The 13th (Monday) will be the day-long orientation.

An orientation is mandatory. Please make plans for one or the other. The WV site will be the Charleston Campus of Marshall University. The VA site will be the Charlottesville area (not Charlotteville proper but close -within 20 - 30 minutes). I will give you all of the details once we have the finalized list of cohort participants.

I am excited! How about you?
