The Department of Biology at West Virginia University is hosting its Sixth Annual Graduate Recruitment Weekend on November 15-16, 2008. We would be delighted to have any interested students participate. This will be a great opportunity for talented undergraduate and graduate students to acquaint themselves with our M.S. and Ph.D. programs.
The weekends activities will offer participants many opportunities to interact with current graduate students and research faculty. We will provide valuable information about the department, the specific research interests of our faculty, financial support, and graduate student life at WVU. Students will meet one-on-one with faculty, share social time with graduate students, attend a research poster session, and tour of our state-of-the-art Life Sciences Building, which houses the Department of Biology, and explore Morgantown. To learn more, graduating seniors and/or finishing Masters students who have shown an interest in research and in pursuing either a M.S. or Ph.D. in Biology should go to the following web site: http://www.as.wvu.edu/biology/graduate/programs.htm The weekend begins with an Opening Plenary Session at 12:30 PM on Saturday. After an afternoon of meetings with faculty and tours, participants will join current graduate students for dinner. Accommodations will be provided to all participants during their stay in Morgantown; each applicant will be hosted by a current member of the graduate program. A poster session will be held Sunday morning, followed by meetings with faculty and a closing lunch with informal discussions with faculty. Attendance is limited to thirty participants, and reservations will be made on a first-come first-serve basis.
