It’s Graduate Student Appreciation Week!

April 7–11, 2025

Every year, UMBC dedicates this special week to recognizing and celebrating the brilliant minds, hard work, and grit of our amazing graduate students — and the celebration starts today!

All week long, you’ll find events hosted by various offices across campus, each designed to honor and support YOU. We hope you’ll join us for some of the fun, connection, and appreciation.

Be sure to RSVP for the events you plan to attend so we can plan accordingly and make each gathering a great experience!

Let’s celebrate you — your grit, your growth, and everything you bring to our community!
