For the first part of the session, our panel of graduate students spoke on the SWE Graduate Program at their local universities; both structure and details. Following that we opened the floor to specific questions. Many questions were about getting a program started including coordinating with the undergraduate section, finding funding, grad student vs. undergraduate needs, etc.
This session was also held as a webinar in September 2012. It should be up on the SWE website soon.
