Welcome to our graduate program. Your first year here will probably fill you with intellectual excitement, pepper you with moments of uncertainty, stress you out from time to time, and begin the transition to your professional life as a sociologist. The faculty, your fellow students, and the graduate office offer you our support and encouragement. Please do not hesitate to let us know your concerns and ask us your questions.
