Graduate Student Appreciation Week

Each spring, we celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of more than 3,000 graduate students at Sam Houston State University, spread out over 60 master’s programs and 10 doctoral programs by hosting programs specifically for them throughout Graduate Student Appreciation Week.

Events are open to all graduate students (unless otherwise noted) free of charge. Descriptions of this year’s events are below.

Email Ricky Saiz at rxs130@shsu.edu for any questions.
