| - | To help make this very large department a little less impersonal, GRACS established a buddy system. Each new Ph.D. student is given the opportunity to be matched with a fellow graduate student "buddy" who has volunteered to answer his or her questions. This allows new students to feel at home faster than they might otherwise. Buddies are chosen from graduate student volunteers who have been at UT at least a year, with consideration given to matching countries of origin and research interests whenever possible. | ||
| We would like to encourage your participation in GRACS. GRACS is your organization. Its effectiveness depends on your participation. Please attend GRACS events, assist with [[:gradfest|GradFest]] and the buddy program, or run for election to the executive committee. Elections are held twice a year, with the five members holding staggered terms of office to ensure continuity. To get more information about GRACS, visit the home page or send us mail at gracs@cs. | We would like to encourage your participation in GRACS. GRACS is your organization.
