Graduate School Conversation Night

A session for all RTTR undergraduate students who want to learn more about graduate school in RTTR and related fields. We cover essential information about any aspect of graduate school in recreation, tourism and therapeutic recreation, and the process of applying for admission.

This meeting is held each fall and spring.

• Spring semester: April 23rd, Monday / 5pm-6pm Memorial Hall 210
• Fall semester: To be determined 

You must attend one of these meetings, IF:

• You are planning to attend graduate school immediately after graduating from Winona
• You have a notion that your future plans may include graduate work in recreation, tourism, therapeutic recreation or related fields.
