• A sharing message from Dr. Taylor Vensko:

I would like to reach out to fellow grad students. I’ve been working with people through the SoM to help promote grad student events and accomplishments a bit more, and hope this trend catches on.  Clink on following link and you can see what I am talking about.  When students defend, or are getting ready to, they can contact Andrea McPartlin (andrea.mcpartlin@wayne.edu) and she can do something similar.
