Good afternoon!

We wish you the best of luck with class registration this week and next, we know it can be a stressful time! We have a number of upcoming events and opportunities for you, so read all the way through to see everything (as well as a GIF that captures how I think everyone is feeling right now)!

Upcoming Events

The event has been cancelled due to low RSVP's. Stay tuned for future graduate student events!

Fall Break Cultural Bash

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Community Fellows will host undergraduate and graduate students for a dinner THIS Friday, November 18th. The intention behind the event is to build community and share in cultural cuisine among students, especially for students who will be staying on campus during the fall break. We hope you can join them for cultural food, games, and prizes!

Feel free to bring cans for their canned food drive and/or bring a unique cultural food or drink to be entered into a raffle. Please be sure to provide a list of all ingredients, even if homemade, for allergy purposes and other dietary accommodations.

RSVP for the event here.
