Abstract

This study surveyed graduate student orientation programming (GSOP) professionals (n = 33) on the current programmatic landscape for graduate orientation to build a taxonomy of interventions. The results indicate that GSOP addresses campus logistics and interpersonal belonging more frequently than institutional belonging, academic acculturation, or adjustment for students’ supporters. Additionally, orientation professionals were not involved in GSOP. Implications for practice are presented.
