Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week

The Graduate and Professional School and the Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG) annually host events during Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week 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. These events are designed to recognize and honor the achievements and dedication of graduate students across the university. This year, Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week will take place April 6–10.

We're excited to announce and host events during National Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week (April 6-10). Register early! Some events have capacity.

Dinner and Dialogue

Wednesday, April 8, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m., Memorial Student Center's Bethancourt Ballroom (MSC 2300)

Dinner & Dialogue brings our graduate community together for a night of great food and rich conversation centered on a theme. 

This year's theme, Aggies Standing Together: Loyalty, for Good, affirms that the strength of Texas A&M comes from our steadfast commitment to each other, to our Core Values and to the purpose of serving the greater good we share as Aggies. Loyalty is not passive allegiance to an individual or an ideology in a specific place or time; it is an active promise to uphold integrity, respect, leadership and selfless service in every space we enter. Staying loyal to these values and this vision shapes who we become and how we support one another, helping every Aggie rise, persevere and lead, and making Texas A&M what, at its best, it can and should be: a public, land-grant university that produces leaders and knowledge to strengthen communities and make life better for people everywhere.  

This formal event will feature a three course meal, a keynote speaker and the presentation of Unsung Hero awards to three graduate students who exemplify the theme. Each table will have at least one faculty or staff "table host," who will lead conversation with students.

Resources for 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.
