Graduate Student Appreciation Week

Graduate Student Appreciation Week 2021

Each year we celebrate the efforts and achievements of the graduate students in the community, and show our appreciation for them and the contributions they make to the Dartmouth community. There are a number of events organized this week -- if you know a graduate student this is the week to go out of your way to show your appreciation!

Events Schedule

Monday, April 5
4:00pm - 5:00pm: Guarini Community Gathering
Zoom
Please join us in community as we gather and acknowledge the violence and traumas we have both witnessed and experienced during the past year as the pandemic has shaken our systems for good and bad. This will be an opportunity for us to gather and share stories, and express messages we would like to share of hope and change. Zoom link.

12:00pm-1:00pm: Speed Researching with Kerry Landers
Zoom
Are you ready to meet people outside of your department and talk about your research? I know you are! Come meet graduate students/postdocs and quickly describe your research over Zoom. Similar to speed friending, you will be paired up with another graduate student/postdoc and explain your research for 3 minutes. You will have multiple opportunities to explain your research while meeting new people. This is a great opportunity to practice talking about your research!
