Recruitment

The Graduate School is excited to launch: Jigsaw Connect! Jigsaw Connect is a bi-monthly discussion series focused on recruitment and retention support for graduate programs. We have two sessions planned for July: One on July 16 at 2 p.m. focused on staying connected beyond Zoom, and another on July 28 at 10 a.m. that will discuss recruiting on a budget. Register for the July 16 event here, and use this link for July 28. Feel free to invite others in your unit who may find this information useful. For more information, please email shernita@vt.edu.
