Dean Jo Rae Wright announces Graduate School move to Campus Drive
I am delighted to announce that the Graduate School will be moving to a new location during the summer of 2009. We will be occupying the stone house at 2127 Campus Drive, which was the former location of the Office of University Development. I am delighted that we will have space for several units of the Graduate School including Academic Affairs, Finance and Enrollment Services, the Office of the Dean and Graduate Student Affairs. The space is lovely and we look forward to a house warming party. Dean Jo Rae Wright
