GSRW Event Submission Form

Graduate Student Recognition Week is a great opportunity for the University community to recognize the unique and vital role that graduate students play here at the University of Iowa. This week will feature a series of events celebrating graduate students. The Graduate Student Senate hopes that colleges, departments, offices, programs, organizations, and other units from across the campus will join us in recognizing this important week by celebrating the accomplishments of graduate students during Graduate Student Recognition Week and perhaps by hosting a special event for graduate students.
