• Applications for Graduate Excellence Awards are open, due Thursday, March 17. Apply to be recognized for your contributions to teaching and the scholarship community on campus!
• Arts & Sciences: The search for a new college dean is entering the public phase where finalist candidates will be visiting campus. How would grad students like to interact with potential candidates to provide feedback? So far in this search there has been only ONE grad student representative so we would like to have a high number of students provide feedback at this stage! Please email Barra Peak if you have ideas or want to be involved!

If any questions arise, you can reach out to your representative or contact us at gpsg@colorado.edu.

We hope you stay safe and have a great week,
