It was nice to see so many grad students (and undergrads too!), many of whom had been in the U.S. for less than 1 month. Read more »

3918834458 53c120d04d m GSWN 3   Recap For the third part of the Connect series, we filled up  110 Barrows Hall, the room we will use for the rest of the semester. I was personally very surprised to see the hallway outside filled with people, pizza, and conversation- and all before 6:30pm. We started by watching our first video about Peter and the lab experiment and then an awesome video about a grad students fluctuating self-worth as he interacts and compares himself with the people around him.
