Interested Professionals Invited to 'Night at Grad School'

September 26, 2012

The OBU Graduate School will host "Night at the Grad School" Tuesday, Oct. 2, from 5:30-6:45 p.m. at its campus located at 3800 North May Ave. in Oklahoma City. Interested professionals are invited to attend the free event, and no reservations are required.

"Night at the Graduate School" will offer an opportunity for those interested in pursuing a graduate degree to meet other prospective students and OBU professors, as well as learn options for funding a degree program.

"This will be a great opportunity for people to learn more about the degree program of their interest," said Ann Gray, associate director of the OBU Graduate School. "We want to create a casual environment of food and discussion for people to come together and discuss their questions, needs and the benefits of the program. Attendees will also have the opportunity to sit in on a class session for a few minutes. … They will hear from some of the graduate school professors, current students and graduates of the program."

Attendees are encouraged to bring a friend who might also be interested in pursuing graduate work.

"If people are even thinking about getting a master's degree, they should attend this event," said Dr. Scott Harris, director of the OBU Graduate School. "They will see firsthand what OBU has to offer. I believe they will like what they see, and they will see that graduate school is very doable, even while working full-time."
