PGSG Announces Graduate Student Appreciation Week April 2-6, 2012

Published under News by webmaster on Wednesday, March 21st, 2012 at 10:28 am.

This year, April 2 – April 6, 2012 is Graduate Student Appreciation Week! To show how much you are appreciated the Purdue Graduate Student Government (PGSG) has put together a week full of exciting events JUST for YOU! The event schedule is below.

In addition to great events, PGSG is also providing every graduate student with a button that says “Grad Students Have Statistical Significance”. We are encouraging all graduate students to wear their buttons that week so that (1) we can recognize and meet each other, (2) other students/faculty/staff can tell who we are and how many of us there are, and (3) YOU WILL RECEIVE DISCOUNTS AT LOCAL BUSINESSES FOR WEARING THEM!!!

You will be able to pick up your buttons from your Grad Coordinator starting the Wednesday before April 2 (i.e., March 28). Businesses offering discounts will be posted on our website, along with the finalized event schedule by March 28 as well.
