Meet your Library Liaison - Jennifer Freer is a reference librarian specializing in business information and serves as the liaison to students, faculty and staff at Saunders College of Business. She helps connect students with information and can provide citation assistance as needed. Supported class projects include research papers, marketing plans, strategic plans and business plans — among other assignments.

Contact Jennifer with your information and citation questions via email and chat, or set up a one-on-one reference consultation for in-depth assistance. In a consultation, you will receive help identifying which resources are best suited for your project and training on how to search library databases and harvest information.

Graduate Orientation

Your graduate program begins with orientation. We make it a priority for you to meet with your Program Director and peers to gain a deeper understanding of the program requirements and expectations. We begin to explore case-based learning, design thinking and other graduate-level topics that will be introduced throughout your program. 

Pre-registration is required. You will be sent the RSVP form once you've been matriculated, added to the MyCourse page and have set up an RIT email address. Although your attendance is a required part of your graduate program, it’s an an exciting time to start building new relationships and make new connections.

Visit the Graduate Student Smart Start Checklist to ensure you are set up for success. We look forward to meeting you!

You will receive a RSVP form once you have been matriculated, added to the MyCourse page and have set up an RIT email address.
