HESI Preview 2018 | UMD College of Education

Thank you for your engagement in the 2020 Preview process; please refer to https://ejobs.umd.edu/ for future updates pertaining to Graduate Assistantships.

Welcome to the Higher Education, Student Affairs, and International Education Policy (HESI) Preview website!

UMD HESI Preview is designed to provide prospective students with information, through formal and informal interactions with current faculty and students, about the program in which they have been granted admission. Each spring, since 1988, newly admitted master's and doctoral students have had the opportunity to engage with their cohorts, become oriented to the campus and surrounding community, and interview for graduate assistantships.

OVERVIEW

The Preview Program officially begins with check-in, a campus tour, and a luncheon at 12:00pm on Sunday, February 25th. Our last session will end at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, February 27th, but you may allow for extra time on Tuesday afternoon if you wish to schedule additional assistantship interviews or visit a class.

If you have decided not to attend the University of Maryland, please let your program concentration know as soon as possible. Higher Education Concentration admits should contact Dr. Marvin Titus (mtitus@umd.edu), Student Affairs Concentration admits should contact Dr. Michelle Espino Lira (mespino@umd.edu), and International Education Policy Concentration admits should contact Dr. Steven Klees (sklees@umd.edu).
