3pm: Research Induction Ceremony for Ph.D. & M.D./Ph.D. Students
Okey Patteson Auditorium, Health Sciences Learning Center

This ceremony marks an important step in the lives of our doctoral students who have completed their core educational course work, identified their mentors, and are now entering their selected areas of graduate research. The laboratory coat presented at this Ceremony symbolizes the entry of these young scientists in to the process of research and discovery. It also serves to recognize the bonding of mentor and student in a mutually supportive interaction that is key to successful training for a career in research.

Reception following the Ceremony hosted by:
Health Sciences Office of Research & Graduate Education
Health Sciences Office of Alumni Affairs

Please remember to send me any announcements for your department/center by the previous Friday (no later than 3:00 p.m.) the announcement would be for the following week. Send to: tluci@hsc.wvu.edu.
