Dear Majors,

*Thinking about graduate school? Want to learn about the graduate school experience?

Come join us for a special dinner for sociology and criminology majors!

The Sociology and Criminology department will host a panel discussion with former FSU students who are in graduate school, those who are applying to graduate school, and those who have already experienced graduate school. Speakers will talk briefly and answer questions such as: "Is graduate school right for me?" "What graduate program is right for me?" and "What's the best way to ask professors for letters of recommendation?"

This event will take place on:
Monday, October 26, from 5 to 7pm
Faculty Staff Dining Room, McCarthy Center.

To attend this event, please RSVP to Professor Lina Rincón at [email protected]. Seats are limited and are available first-come, first served!
