On October 22, the second online open Q&A was held. If you were unable to attend or would like to watch the meeting again, you can do so here or on our YouTube channel. Thanks to those of you who attended, and a special thank you to those who asked questions. We are aware of questions regarding details about graduate student health insurance which couldn’t be answered in full during the webinar, and will be answering them soon, with a specific follow-up FAQ on insurance to be emailed to you in the next few weeks.

If you have any additional questions you would like answered, please email graduateschool@usu.edu.
