Graduate Student Appreciation Week

Graduate Student Appreciation Week 2025

Graduate Student Appreciation Week (GSAW) will be observed March 31-April 4. This week recognizes the important contributions of graduate students in the ﾂ鮓ｹｴｫﾃｽ campus community. The Graduate Student Association invites all offices and departments at ﾂ鮓ｹｴｫﾃｽ to do something memorable for graduate students to show their appreciation during this special week. Looking for ideas? Check out some student appreciation ideas from ﾂ鮓ｹｴｫﾃｽ.

Monday, March 31: Gratitude Wall and Community Meal at 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
Students are invited to visit the Graduate School (Carter Hall, room 2007) for a meal and an opportunity to connect with peers. The main activity will be the Gratitude Wall, where students can write notes expressing what they are grateful for. This is also a great moment for students to reflect on and share their accomplishments and what they are proud of so far in their journey.

Tuesday, April 1: Graduate Student Dinner and Coffee Social
Join us for a Graduate Student Dinner at Holmes Dining Hall from 5-7 p.m. This is a great opportunity to relax, connect with fellow graduate students and enjoy a meal together. Be sure to mention that you are attending a GSA event at the front desk upon arrival. After dinner, we will head to Margie窶冱 Java Joint (931 16th Street) for a casual social. We hope to see you there!

Wednesday, April 2: Recharge Goodie Bag Giveaway
To support students' well-being, we will be distributing Recharge Goodie Bags at your college. These goodies bags will be filled with items to help students relax and recharge.
