Graduate Student Appreciation Week

March 18th-24th, 2013

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.
