Graduate & Professional Students Appreciation Week
In 1993, the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students established an appreciation week to recognize the contributions, impact, and value of graduate and professional students across the nation’s campuses, to be held during the first week of April.
The Office of Graduate Studies and Graduate & Professional Student Council hosted several events for graduate and professional students throughout the week of April 10-15, 2023 to celebrate the impact graduate students make in their colleges, departments, labs, classrooms, and offices.
This week is also USF Week, and many additional activities are planned for the entire USF community. Please visit the USF Week website for more information and schedules.
