Graduate Student Appreciation Week 2025

Graduate Student Appreciation Week (GSAW) 2025 is Monday, March 31, to Friday, April 4! 🎊

To show our appreciation, we’ve got freebies and fun lined up! Swing by to grab a Berkeley Lab souvenir and a lunch voucher, redeemable at any on-site food truck. Because let’s be real—free food makes everything better. 😄 Check out the schedule below (and the attached flyer) for pick-up times!

📌 Eligibility: You must be in a Graduate Student employee classification (UC GSRA or Non-UC GSRA appointment) to receive these goodies. Supplies are limited and will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis—so don’t wait too long!
