Visiting graduate students

These graduate students have visited RGCS with the academic support of an advisor from the RGCS faculty for a research stay, under what 91ֱ refers to as a Graduate Research Traineeship. Graduate Research Trainees are provided with shared office space and invited to join the intellectual community of graduate students, in addition to standard 91ֱ student privileges such as library access. No financial support is provided by 91ֱ or RGCS. If you're interested in pursuing the opportunity for time as a GRT, the first step is to identify an appropriate advisor and get in touch with them directly.
