McDaniel College Graduate and Professional Studies Student Appreciation Week

Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week

Show Your GPS Green Terror Pride! 

The 2024 Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week will be celebrated April 1 - 5, 2024. This annual recognition was started in 1993 by the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students to support, appreciate, and emphasize the contributions, impact, and value of graduate and professional students on campus, in their workplace and in communities throughout the United States.

In recognition of this week, McDaniel Graduate and Professional Studies will be celebrating with several activities throughout the week on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Each post will be tied to a giveaway for free McDaniel swag! On Wednesday, April 3rd, GPS will be hosting a virtual student focus group for students to share their experiences. All students who participate in the focus group will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a FREE graduate course. Registration with McDaniel credentials is required (see link below).

Additionally, virtual backgrounds and graphics for use with Zoom, phones, and social media are available for students, faculty and staff to upload for use during the week to show your Green Terror GPS Pride! See below for information about the week’s activities.

Thank you to all of our graduate students for choosing McDaniel College as the home for your graduate & professional studies!
