Everything you need as a graduate student of CJLS

Information for Graduate Students

Life as a graduate student isn't easy. But finding all the information you need to succeed is! 

We've collected all the materials, handbooks, and other needed information into one place so you can quickly and easily access it. That way you can get back to studying for your classes or preparing for the weekend (whichever comes first). 

Meet your advisor

I'm always happy to meet and help navigate coursework, and everything else graduate school may put in your path!
