Graduate Student Appreciation Week

March 18-24, 2012

Each year the National Association of Graduate and Professional Students encourages colleges and universities to honor their graduate students with a Graduate Student Appreciation Week. Many institutions across the nation set aside one week in late March or early April to celebrate student accomplishments and recognize the contributions of graduate students to the campus. Check out some of the many Graduate Student Contributions.

This year, the School of Graduate Studies has set March 18-24 as the fifth annual Graduate Student Appreciation Week at St. Cloud State University. Download the Poster and Schedule of events (.pdf).
