Graduate Student Day
Celebrating Drexel's Graduate Student Community
Graduate Student Day, hosted by the Graduate Student Association (GSA), Student Life and the Graduate College is an annual occasion recognizing the outstanding contributions of graduate students and their faculty and professional staff mentors to the mission of the University especially within the classroom, lab, community and beyond.
During the celebratory event, the Graduate College recognizes high-achieving graduate students with Graduate Student Excellence Awards across disciplines in mentorship (sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Research), service (sponsored by the Lindy Center for Civic Engagement), research and teaching. Likewise, the GSA honors outstanding graduate student leaders, student organizations, and faculty and professional staff mentors with awards. A reception with hors d'oeuvres and refreshments then follows.
