Are you looking for a program that goes beyond the typical graduate student orientation? A program to help you prepare for
all aspects of being a graduate student or graduate assistant? Then you've just taken your first step in the right direction.
BGSU's Graduate Student Orientation (GSO) is here to help all graduate students reach higher skill levels in technology, research, and teaching competence, as well
as personal development and academic proficiency. GSO is open to all graduate students, faculty, and staff and is required
for graduate students receiving an assistantship contract from BGSU. GSO is offered throughout the year as either The August Program or The Ongoing Program.
If you have not already completed our program, as a graduate student receiving an assistantship you will soon be participating
in the Graduate Student Orientation. GSO has a long history of helping new and continuing graduate students like you become
familiar with the community and services available to them during their tenure at Bowling Green State University. Although
the primary goal of GSO is to ensure that our graduate assistants are well prepared when they go into their classes and and
to meet the requirements of their assistantship assignments; we are also dedicated to you as an individual graduate student
and are here to help you succeed with your academic goals. GSO has been developed and refined over more than twenty years.
There is a strong feeling of pride knowing that the improvements we continue to make in our program have made the acclamation
process easier for the students and faculty who participate, and that it has become a model program for many other institutions
of higher learning.
