There's always something to be thankful for, especially our Monarch community! 🦁💙🍂

This November, we're celebrating the faculty and staff who make graduate school a little brighter!

Have a professor who inspires you? An advisor who always has your back? A staff member who goes above and beyond?

We want to hear about them! 💌

Submit your shoutout through the link in our bio for a chance to have your message featured throughout November!

Your career doesn’t suddenly start the day you receive your diploma. 🎓
Attend the conference. Introduce yourself to the guest speaker. Join the professional organization. Apply for the internship. Present your research. Start building connections in your field now.
Grad school isn’t just preparation for what comes next — it’s already part of your professional journey. 💙

Your résumé called. It wants stronger verbs. 📞👀
Instead of only listing what you were responsible for, focus on what you actually did, created, led, improved, or accomplished.
A simple change in wording can make your experiences — including assistantships, research, internships, and campus involvement — communicate your skills much more clearly.
Consider this your sign to give your résumé a quick refresh. 💻✨

Some things just never get old when you’re a Monarch. 🦁 From Big Blue sightings and beautiful days on campus to game days and showing off that ODU blue, it’s the little things that make ODU feel like home. 💙
What’s one ODU thing you’ll never get tired of? 👀

10/19/2026

Another week, another reason to rep the blue. 💙🦁
From the field to the court (and the water 👀⛵️), there are plenty of chances to cheer on our Monarchs this week! Check out what’s coming up and add a game or two to your plans.
Who are you cheering for this week? 👏

10/19/2026

Grad school is a lot more fun when you've got people to talk about it with! 💙

No agenda, no pressure, just good conversations! 💬

We take graduate student resources very seriously. 🫡💤
So naturally, we set out to answer one of the most important questions on campus: Where is the best place to take a nap at ODU?
After extensive research, rigorous testing, and absolutely no scientific methodology, the results are in. 😴🦁
Do you agree with our ratings? And more importantly… where should we nap next? 👀
Disclaimer: The ODU Graduate School does, in fact, recommend sleeping in an actual bed.
