Graduate & Professional Student Appreciation Week

Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week was started in 1993 by the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students (NAGPS) as a way to demonstrate appreciation for graduate and professional students nationwide. This year, GSDM is celebrating GPSA Week with series of events and fun activities – just a small gesture to demonstrate our appreciation for the important contributions our students and residents make to our community every day!
