Graduate Student Appreciation Week
GSAS will be celebrating Brandeis University’s third annual Graduate-Professional Student Appreciation Week from April 7 to April 11, 2025! National Graduate-Professional Student Appreciation Week was created in 1993 by three students who “wanted to find a way to physically manifest support and appreciation of the contributions, impact, and value of graduate students.”
To highlight and thank graduate students for their invaluable contributions to teaching, research, and the Brandeis community, the Grad Engagement group (comprised of members of GSAS, Heller, International Business School, and the Office of Graduate Affairs) is planning a series of activities. Check out the lineup for this year’s events on OGA’s website.
In addition to events that the Grad Engagement group is planning, GSAS will offer the following activities and events:
