Graduate Community of Scholars 2024
Spring 2024 Theme
Each year, GCoS centers on a theme that we feel is important to -- and resonates with -- the graduate and professional community. Our theme this year, Living with Integrity: Aligning Values and Actions, focuses on the Aggie Core Value of Integrity.
For this year's Graduate Community of Scholars events, we want to encourage this kind of integrity and honor those Aggie graduate and professional students who exemplify it.
Registration link coming soon!
