Join us in this all-day event for students who have received an offer of admission from the University of Guelph. Each day is specific to a particular degree program and consists of program information sessions, career and co-operative education sessions, residence tours and more.

Program evaluation work is a great career option for people with an interest in the links between research and social action. How is the University of Guelph preparing students for this kind of career? Could we do a better job? What are the implications for teaching practical real world skills in graduate programs more broadly? Join us on Monday, May 15th from 12:00-1:30pm in UC441 as we explore these questions and more.
