GROW, GREAT and COGS present:
SUMMER OF CONNECTION FOR GRADUATE & PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS
The Graduate School’s Office for Wellbeing (GROW), Graduate Educator Advancement and Teaching (GREAT) office, and the Council of Graduate Students (COGS) are excited to announce the Summer of Connection Series.
Summer means a quiet campus and we want to offer opportunities for students to maintain existing or create new connections with fun and relaxing activities.
