Welcome to UMass Graduate School (WUGS)

Welcome incoming students! The Graduate School is excited to invite you to WUGS, an in-person orientation experience to be held Friday, September 1, 2023. This event will provide you with helpful advice, timely resources, and help you find community. At WUGS, you will get a chance to connect with a team of offices ready to support you in your graduate journey, hear from current graduate students who will offer advice to ease your transition to graduate school at UMass, and attend concurrent talks and panels covering topics such as adjusting to life in the Amherst community, cultivating strong relationships in graduate school, and creating a multi-year plan for research, writing, and teaching that will propel you towards your professional goals. Don't miss out on this opportunity to start your graduate career at UMass off to a strong start!

Here is the 2022 program, to get a sense of the day!
