The Carolina community joins The Graduate School in recognizing Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week.
Graduate and professional students make up nearly 40% of Carolina’s student body. Every day, they perform vital work in our classrooms, our research labs and our public service projects. They mentor and train our undergraduate students, and they bring energy and creativity to their work with our faculty.
Carolina’s graduate and professional students represent a range of fields and areas of study. As The Graduate School celebrates Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week, learn more about the variety of research, creative, and mission-driven endeavors in which our students engage.
Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week is April 1-5, 2019, recognizing the many contributions these students make to UNC-Chapel Hill and beyond.
