Graduate-Professional Student Appreciation Week
Established by the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students in 1993, Graduate-Professional Student Appreciation Week (GPSAW) is dedicated to VCU’s graduate and professional students who work day in and day out to become better individuals. These activities aim to show our appreciation by giving students access to tools for professional and personal development and opportunities to socialize and network.
