‘It starts with a racist joke, and not teaching kids about this in class,’ said one student. ‘We have to start at the base.’
Welcome, CEHD Graduate Students!
It's not the way we wanted to "meet" our newest CEHD Graduate Students, but we loved hearing their questions during today's Graduate Prelude Live Q&A session.
For the past two weeks, over 400 graduate students from across our programs have logged into Blackboard to complete our self-paced orientation program, Graduate Prelude. The goal of Prelude is to ensure that our grad students know all the tools and understand all of the expectations BEFORE the first day of class.
We are so proud of how many of them tuned in, engaged, and started making their own success!
Great collaboration between CEHD, the College of Science and the Mason athletic department to help test student-athletes for COVID-19 for a safe return to campus!
Kudos to Kinesiology Professor Margaret Jones and her team in the Patriot Performance Lab!
