<div class=MsoNormal>Dear Graduate Chairs, Program Coordinators, and Admission Staff,</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>The Graduate College, Graduate Student Senate (GSS), International Student and Faculty Services (ISFS), the Office for Multicultural Student Access and Retention (OMSAR) and Office of the Ombudsman invite any interested graduate students to a networking/mentoring event called “GRADcats eXchange” on Thursday, March 8, 2012. The purpose of the event is to provide a networking/mentoring opportunity for graduate students and for support offices to gain additional understanding of the experiences of Ohio University graduate students. We are particularly interested in hearing about the experiences of international, underrepresented, and first-generation graduate students, although all graduate students are invited.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>This networking event will be structured using the World Café model which is a “conversational process for fostering dialogue, accessing collective intelligence, and creating innovative possibilities for action” (Brown, 2005, p. 3). Please invite any graduate students that you think might be interested to come and share their stories.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>GRADcats eXchange is scheduled for Thursday, March 8, 2012 from 10 to 11:30 AM in the Multicultural Center multipurpose room, Baker University Center, room 203.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>For those who are interested, but unable to attend, this is just the first of several events. We are planning to hold at least two additional events during Spring quarter to accommodate others’ schedules. One will be scheduled in the afternoon and one will be in the evening.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me in the Graduate College either by e-mail at <A href="mailto:millerb3@ohio.edu">millerb3@ohio.edu</A> or by phone at 740.593.2891.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>Sincerely,</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
