Graduate students at the University of Arkansas are invited to participate in lunch conversations with Curt Rom, interim dean of the Graduate School and International Education, to discuss graduate students’ experiences at the U of A. 

A series of hour-long lunches are scheduled for the spring semester with Rom – one each in February, March, and April – in the Arkansas Union. It is free for graduate students to register and participate, and lunch is provided. 

“Our graduate students are important to our university in so many ways – helping drive our research enterprise through their creative and scholarly activity and contributing to teaching and student success – and we want to make sure they are receiving a transformational education here at the University of Arkansas,” Rom said. “These lunches will be small, informal conversations about what we can do to better serve our students.” 

The dates for the lunches are: 

• Tuesday, Feb. 28, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in room 513-514 of the Arkansas Union (RSVP here and select “February 28” on the calendar and select the time of 11:30 a.m.)
