Each year, during National Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week, the Rackham Graduate School joins universities from across the country to host events designed to support and recognize graduate students. The week is aimed at highlighting the great contributions and high value that graduate and professional students bring to our community. This year’s events include networking, delicious food, games, swag, and the relaxing, joyful presence of therapy dogs. Join us for a week of connection and celebration!
