Learn, connect, unwind.
Graduate and professional students make invaluable contributions to the Duke community. As a token of appreciation, The Graduate School, Duke Student Affairs, and the various graduate and professional programs organize a week of activities each spring to give graduate and professional students opportunities to socialize, unwind, network, and work on professional and personal development. The festivities are part of the student appreciation week sponsored by the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students.
In 2025, Graduate & Professional Student Appreciation Week will be held March 31-April 4.
