Grad students should take advantage of the free food and events this week! But remember that true “appreciation” would be…
- higher stipends
- dental and vision insurance
- expanded resources for international students
- meaningful childcare assistance for student parents
Graduate Student Appreciation Week (GSAW) is a national celebration recognizing the impact of graduate students! TGS is announcing a week full of giveaways, events, and programming from April 4 – April 8. For a complete schedule of events, visit spr.ly/6016KQ4jj

A 65-yo Asian woman was viciously attacked today in NY. 3 onlookers did nothing. I'm linking the video for awareness; but it's sickening to watch. She's in serious condition; I pray she makes it.
I never thought I'd see something like this. What's happening to NY? To the USA?😢
