Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week

Presented by the Graduate Student Assembly of the University of Texas at Austin and Supported in part by Geico

Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week helps build community between graduate students on UT's campus. Most graduate students rarely meet anyone outside their department and this series of events gives them the opportunity to do so in many different ways. Building community between students is one of the core values of the University of Texas and GPAW will improve student experience by allowing students from different disciplines to meet and socialize in various settings throughout the week.
