THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

"As someone who has been involved in graduate education at Northwestern for 35 years as a teacher, mentor, and administrator, my mission is to ensure our graduate community remains represented and supported as we face the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, growing political and economic divides, and the devastating and continuing impacts of systemic racism and intolerance." Read the full message from Interim Dean Mayo.

The Graduate School's 2021 PhD and MFA Hooding Ceremony is tentatively scheduled to take place during the weekend of June 12-13, 2021 to coincide with Commencement. It is our hope that we will be able to host an in-person ceremony pending public health guidance. More details will be shared as they become available.

Several graduate student organizations are hosting virtual welcome events to kick off the Fall Quarter. Please see below for more information.
