Message from the Director of Graduate Student Life
|
Greetings!
I don't know about you, but I can't believe it's already October! I hope you all are experiencing a productive semester thus far. I would like to direct your attention to the wide variety of events, activities, and programs taking place over the coming weeks. Please be sure to check out the events & announcements section below and participate as your interests and schedules permit. In the spirit of the upcoming holiday, I would like to share with you a link to the Top Ten Scariest Movie Moments! If you're a fan of horror movies like I am, you will really appreciate this list. But if these kinds of movies scare the heck out of you, then you may want to consider not clicking the link! Consider yourself warned! Also, please stop by the Murray House later this month to check out our cool Halloween decorations and join us for the upcoming spooky events listed below. If you're lucky, you might even get to meet the Murray House ghost! Happy Halloween everybody!
All the best,
R. Darrell Peterson, Ph.D.
