The week of April 7-11 is Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week (GPSAW) for 2025! We hope that graduate and professional students will participate in activities this week. There is a movie night on Tuesday night; a silent disco on Thursday; online Dungeons & Dragons games tonight, Wednesday, and Saturday; Gather in the Gardens, etc. You can also learn about preparing for an alternative academic job or how to be an active bystander to prevent sexual assault.

And all week, we encourage faculty, staff, undergraduates and other graduate and professional students to post messages to graduate and professional students who have had an impact on your life. Visit tiny.utk.edu/thank-a-grad to post your message and we’ll be sharing some messages on social media.
