When: Saturday, March 28th
Time: 9am - 2:00pm

The Council of Graduate Students will be hosting a 1 day
workshop to provide awareness and training on the topics of
diversity, inclusion and sensitivity from varying
perspectives such as: Culture, Class, Race, Gender, Sexual
Assault, Relationship Violence, LGBT, and Communication
(linguistic barriers). This will aid in fostering a campus
environment that’s more inclusive and supportive of
Graduate and Professional Students from all walks of life.
Preregistration will be required.
In 1993, The National Association of Graduate-Professional Students (NAGPS) established
Graduate­Professional Student Appreciation Week (GPSAW) as a means of recognizing the
work of America’s graduate and professional students. Specifically, Graduate­Professional
Student Appreciation Week seeks to highlight and celebrate the contributions, impact and
value of graduate and professional students on campuses throughout the United States.
GPSAW is celebrated during the first week of April each year.
The Council of Graduate Students is currently working hard on planning GPSAW 2015. Look
for our March Newsletter coming out at the end of March with a complete list of activities and
coupon giveaway days.
