When you enter into a graduate program, you join a community of people who have either been there, done that (faculty), are here with you, doing it right alongside you (other graduate students), or are here to help you with the necessary administrative aspects (staff). Every person in this community will value you for your integrity, ingenuity and willingness to dedicate yourself to the pursuit of knowledge. Graduate school will offer plenty of learning opportunities; when you need help from your community, please reach out.
