We received a record number of applications for graduate school this year, and we're welcoming our largest graduate class to date. Our current funded research projects, teaching assistantships, and fellowship opportunities have permitted us to provide at least partial funding to every student in our graduate program. More information about current research projects is available for GIScience, Human Geography, Nature-Society Relations, and Physical Geography.
The following 25 new masters and Ph.D. candidates will join an existing group of 68 current students. As the graduate officer for 2003-2004, I would like to officially welcome these newest members of our Department. We look forward to meeting and working with all of you, and we offer our best wishes for your time with us.
