Dear Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars:

We’ve created this electronic newsletter to improve communication with you about important university news.  We appreciate feedback you would like to offer about the content, the way we are curating it and what you would like us to feature in the future.

This newsletter is designed to provide news, information about events and deadlines, and a greater window into how important decisions are made by university leaders. We will also share stories about the fascinating work you and your fellow students and postdocs are doing via profiles and multimedia features.

We hope this weekly newsletter opens up new ways that you might engage with the university and reaffirms our commitment to providing you access to information and resources that contribute to your success. We hope, as well, that you will help us give it an appropriate name and will share feedback by emailing student-news@stanford.edu with your thoughts.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this first issue.

Vice Provost for Graduate Education
