We are wrapping up Grad Student Appreciation Week with a final spotlight on all our 5th year & higher grad students. This group is nearing the end of their journey as students and will be moving on up in the world as Ph.D.’s. We can’t wait to see all their hard work pay off!

We are highlighting our 4th year grad students. This cohort started their grad school journey unknowing they would also be living through a global pandemic at the same time. We are so proud of all these students and the obstacles they have overcome since beginning their journey.
