Thank you to everyone who joined us for some great food and fun conversations these past few days as we're celebrating Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation week.

Yesterday, Provost Laura Lee McIntyre met with graduate students for our annual Pretzels with the Provost event.

Today our Office for Graduate Educator Advancement and Teaching (GREAT) and the Council of Graduate Students (COGS) hosted a Graduate Student Block Party featuring a PizzArena contest, where graduate students voted for their favorite pizza place.

The results are in: The first place goes to Slice for its margherita pizza, followed by Jet's Eugene supreme and Slice's chicken and waffle.

Thank you graduate students! We hope you enjoyed these events as much as we did.
