Each university will host one session this academic year online, and in some cases, in person as well. Graduate students from any of the host institutions may attend any of the events. All times are Pacific Standard Time.

Meet your writing goals this winter by bringing colleagues together and joining the Grad Writing Group Challenge!
The challenge is for you to form a peer-to-peer writing group and meet with them at least four times in February.
Whether you are forming a group to work on your thesis or dissertation, grant or job applications, or coursework, we hope these meetings motivate you to write. We created a quick start guide to help get your group going, including how to give writing feedback.
All registered groups who complete the challenge will be entered to win a prize.
Ready to write? Read the quick start guide and register your group on our website.
If you're planning to graduate in the coming months, please find the Graduate School's degree completion steps and deadlines on the master's and doctoral degree pages.
On those pages, you can find graduation timelines and required tasks such as submitting your program of study, diploma application and final exam scheduling forms. Avoid last-minute surprises and set yourself up for a smooth finish to your well-earned degree!
Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
All OSU graduate students are welcome to compete in the Visualize Your Bibliography Competition.
Display the sources you've been finding for your thesis, articles, or other scholarly work in a creative way and win fantastic prizes!
Ever wonder what your bibliography would look like as a mobile? Papier-mache? Video? Wearable art? Poem? Collage? Edible art? Us too!
Submissions due April 15. Questions appropriate anytime. For more details visit the website or email Hannah Rempel.
