Admission Liaisons

Admission liaisons are senior graduate students who work with Admission office staff to provide prospective applicants with information about academic life in their departments. They are available to discuss the kinds of research and study that can be pursued in their programs, the nature of particular courses, student life, and similar matters. They can also arrange for class visits, so that prospective students can experience our educational opportunities in person.

Our admission liaisons are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Contact them by email to start a conversation, and feel free to ask them to call you or meet you in person on campus.
