Grad Gators: Here, There, and Everywhere!

The University of Florida is thrilled to celebrate the 10th year of Graduate Student Appreciation Week (GSAW), which will take place from April 4 -11, 2025! This milestone event honors a decade of recognizing and supporting our incredible graduate students.

This year's theme, "Grad Gators Here, There, and Everywhere!" reflects our students' global presence, the far-reaching impact of their research, and the vast opportunities available during their programs and beyond. Join us for a week filled with engaging events, networking, and celebrations as we recognize the dedication and achievements of our graduate community!

Originally established in 1993 by the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students, GSAW is a time dedicated to supporting and recognizing the invaluable contributions of graduate and professional students across the nation. In 2010, the Governor of Florida officially recognized GSAW by signing a proclamation designating the first week of April each year for this purpose.

At UF, we're proud to participate in this celebration, highlighting the significant impact and value that graduate and professional students bring to our campus and communities. During GSAW, the University of Florida Graduate School and campus partners will host events to celebrate our diverse community of graduate students. These events will provide opportunities for students to showcase their research, participate in virtual and in-person activities, and enjoy complimentary food, prizes, and friendship.

We invite you to join us during this special week as we honor and appreciate the outstanding contributions of our graduate students!
