Annual Kickoff Party
The Annual Kickoff Party is held at the start of each academic year. This event is hosted by the Executives of GSA for sub-organizations and their members to meet and socialize with each other and with unaffiliated graduate students as well. All students and faculty connected with the graduate school are encouraged to attend. The purpose of this event is to bring together graduate students from all programs and organizations in order to foster inter-program community.
