Good morning, students, and welcome to the university. I’d like to begin with some information about graduate student housing, and then I’ll turn this session over to Dr. Paulson, who will explain some of the financial support services we offer to graduate students.
    First of all, I hope you have a smooth time getting settled here. I know that finding housing is often difficult. So let me give you some information that might help you. I know that several of you have already moved into our new graduate student unit. It’s located on the west side of the campus. In this building, four students share dining and living rooms, kitchen, two bathrooms, and four single bedrooms. We do have a few more empty rooms, so if you’re interested in moving in, let me know right away.
    If you haven’t visited the family-student housing complex, be sure to go take a look at it. This small community has two-bedroom unfurnished apartments. They’re on the south side of campus, near the down town bus stop. Unfortunately, all apartments are full now, and we have a waiting list for next year. Come see me if you want to add your name to the list. You should apply as soon as possible for next year.
    If you want to live off campus and are still looking for a house, be sure to check out the off-campus housing office. You’ll find a lot of rentals listed there.
    Now let me turn this over to Dr. Paulson. He will explain some things about the financial aid program.
