Grad Appreciation Week 3/28-4/1-Events


The University of Florida Graduate School will be hosting our first annual Graduate Student Appreciation Week (GSAW) from March 28 - April 1, 2016.

In 2011, former Governor Charlie Crist signed the proclamation observing March 30 - April 3 as Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week in the State of Florida (proclamation).

GSAW is a time that the University of Florida acknowledges and celebrates the diversity and overall contributions of our graduate and professional students on campus and in the community. Furthermore, GSAW is a national initiative endorsed by the National Association of Graduate and Professional students, an organization which seeks to shed light on these contributions. The graduate students who participate in GSAW will have an opportunity to showcase their research, meet fellow students, and enjoy free food, music, prizes, and good company. We hope that this weeklong event will provide graduate students with the momentum they may need to complete the semester and move forward with pursing their degrees on a high, knowing that the University of Florida supports them every step of the way.

Look for “I Love Graduate Students” buttons across UF campus during GSAW 2016.
