Graduate Student Appreciation Week

Graduate Student Appreciation Week was started in 1993 by the National Association of Graduate and Professional Students as a way to support and appreciate graduate and professional students. The week seeks to emphasize the contributions, impact, and value of graduate and professional students on campuses throughout the United States.

The 2025 Graduate Student Appreciation Week (GSAW) at Kent State University will be held from April 7-11, 2025. This week is a chance to celebrate our amazing graduate student body for their contributions to the university. Below is a schedule of events that will be hosted by the Graduate College as well as other academic units across campus.
