Dear grads, 

Choosing an advisor is one of the most important things you will do in
graduate school.  Get some insight into how to make this decision at GSO's 
week-long "How to Choose an Advisor" seminar.

On Monday, May 14, a panel of grad students will talk about their 
experiences choosing and working with their advisors.

From Tuesday, May 15 through Friday, May 18, there will be a series 
of seminars, organized according to research area, where several professors 
who can take students give brief talks on their research and advising style.
See below for the schedule of talks.

This should be an excellent opportunity for beginning grad students to find 
out what their options are, and we are pleased to bring it to you.

-GSO
