GMS Celebrates Fourth-Annual Gear-Up Week

The Community Catalyst Center’s fourth-annual Gear-Up Week brought students together for a week of connection, academic skill-building, creativity and more.

Gear-Up Week, hosted this year from Sept. 8 to 12, offered four different activities and events throughout the week.

The week began with Community & Belonging Office Hours, hosted by Dr. Karin Schon in the C3 Suite. The next day, students joined C3 in L-403 for the C3 Grad Lab, a night of painting, snacks, and swag pickup.

On Thursday, Dr. Aaron Young hosted his annual “Thriving, Not Just Surviving, in Graduate School” seminar, an academic development program that shared tips and tricks for managing the challenging coursework of graduate school.

Finally, the week concluded with a Fall Kick-Off Pizza Party on Talbot Green, where over 150 students, faculty & staff enjoyed pizza, games, and more. Check out a full slideshow of the week’s fun below, and keep an eye on the GMS calendar for more upcoming events this semester.
