The Graduate School Info Night is a near annual event that we organize to inform Engineering and Science students on various aspects of Graduate School, including:

• Why go to grad school
  
• Research opportunities
• How to pay for it
  
• Applying
• Canada, US, and the World

The format of the evening generally consists of several speakers who will speak on particular topics above, as well as a Q&A panel composed of current/future graduate students.
