The DoGS Summit is an opportunity to welcome new DoGS into their role and assist all DoGS in learning about DoGS’ function and potential, current Graduate School initiatives, and changes to University & Graduate School policies, procedures, and programs.
DoGS Summits are generally held in August, before the beginning of the Academic Year. Information about the 2020-2021 Summit will be posted as it is available.
