Dear graduate and professional students, 

Graduate School Dean Scott Adler (left) and Dean of Students Devin Cramer (right)

If there is one thing that makes the Graduate School great, it’s our students—and we want to celebrate that fact. Next week, April 1– 5, the Graduate School and Student Affairs will be hosting Graduate Student Appreciation Week, and we want to invite you to join in on the fun.

Graduate Student Appreciation Week is a nationally recognized event that provides an opportunity to celebrate the significant impact that our graduate students have as researchers, teachers, artists, performers and so much more. This year, we have partnered with various campus offices to provide CU Boulder graduate students with a variety of free events and services, including free breakfast burritos, free coffee at Pekoe, a career fair for graduating students, free rec days at the CU Recreation Center, and more. Many departments are also hosting events for their graduate students this week, too.

As GradBuffs, you are part of a network that brings vitality to the university, and we are grateful for all you do. Thank you for all your hard work and we encourage you to take part and participate in as many activities and events as you can.

Sincerely,

E. Scott Adler
Dean of the Graduate School and Vice Provost for Graduate Affairs

Devin Cramer
Acting Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of Students

Events this week include free breakfast and coffee, career workshops, free days at the rec center, and more.
