****************************************************************



Now is the time for seniors to begin seriously thinking about graduate
school applications, and for juniors to start thinking about graduate school
as a possibility. To these ends, Graduate Program Coordinator Tim Nyerges
will lead a discussion of such topics as:



·       determining the right time in your professional or intellectual life
to attend graduate school



·       identifying the right graduate program(s) for you--in Geography and
other disciplines



·       writing effective statements of purpose,



·       lining up those all-important letters of recommendation



We will share successful--and ineffective--statements of purpose written
over the years by applicants to our program.
