We can't wait to meet newly accepted students attending Campus Visit Days on March 24 - 26, 2018! This is the weekend where accepted students are invited to campus to learn more about the program, HESA, and interview for graduate assistantships. Below are some nuggets of knowledge from our current master’s students on prepping for your visit. Their Twitter accounts are linked if you want to check them out or reach out with more questions!
@SarahKBonds: Alabama weather is unpredictable. Better to overpack than underpack. For interviews: you have a lot of Graduate Assistants (GA’s) at your disposal the weekend before. Ask questions and get to know the position you’re after. Also, take time for yourself if you need it! Don’t let your flame burn out! @hunterstewart94: Consult that campus map! Get a feel for the places we’ll be going to and familiarize yourself with easy routes to get there, it just makes you feel more prepared. @CokieFaith: Know what you’re wanting out of the visit and tailor your questions to that. I already knew plenty about the school/program/town, so I was mostly trying to get a feel for the people and if I could see myself being friends with them. I imagine that’s where a lot of people are at by now, but don’t be afraid to ask questions about the curriculum or what current students do and don’t feel prepared for. @codyachter12: Cliche but take a step out of your comfort zone and trust yourself. We construct knowledge together so your view is important. @cwest482: Some people have already mentioned asking questions, but I really want to encourage you to ASK QUESTIONS. To faculty, to students, to alumni, to anyone you meet this weekend. Faculty can tell you about courses and their expectations. Students can tell you about our classroom experiences, assistantship experiences, internship experiences, and externship experiences. Alumni can tell you how this program prepared them for their next steps. It’s easier said than done, but don’t be afraid to ask questions. We hope this information is helpful! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions about CVD. See you this weekend!
