Graduate Student Appreciation Week
The first week of every April, the Graduate School at the University of Colorado Boulder celebrates what makes it great: its students. These events, which are part of a broad national effort, recognize graduate students and the outstanding work that they do.
This year's event is March 31 - April 4.
New this year, the Graduate School will also be raffling off prizes at the end of the week. More information about that, including rules, is available below.
