Graduate students need "love", too. During graduate school, experiencing a sense of community has a positive influence on student experience and satisfaction. That is why one of the main missions of G2O is an effort to bolster the sense of community in our department through intentionally planned events, spotlighting weekly casual meetups, and encouraging other mental health initiatives.
Sometimes graduate school can feel isolating. So, forget the stress of academia and join us for some fun. Department socials, impromptu meetups, or regular happy hours. We've got them all!
