The Graduate and Professional School and the Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG) annually host Graduate Community of Scholars programming to bring our community together in recognition and celebration of the invaluable contributions, impact and value of graduate and professional students at Texas A&M. Graduate Community of Scholars (GCoS) events take place each spring during or around Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week (typically the first week of April).
 

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.

Aggie graduate and professional students embody integrity, striving to align inner values with external actions. Though not always the easiest, practicing integrity can be most rewarding path, enabling us to reach our full potential, feel fulfilled, inspire and earn the trust of others. 

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.

Update Your Headshot, Courtesy of The Association of Former Students

A quality headshot can help make you stand out in a sea of candidates on LinkedIn or in other job search arenas. It’s just one step further you can go to wow people. You take time to keep your resume and portfolio updated, you invest time and energy into writing compelling cover letters, so why not top it all off with a great headshot? 

If you would like an updated professional headshot, The Association of Former Students can help. Our ‘studiopod’ is a free, simple and quick way for you to take and update your headshot.

Feel free to stop by The Clayton W. Williams, Jr. Alumni Center during our normal hours (Monday-Friday, 8-5) and you will find the studiopod downstairs. It’s quick, it’s free and it’s convenient.
