"Me and my family just wanted to say thank you so very much to you, and all of the people who made this event happen. It was really quite a wonderful treat. The kids loved it, and it helped us adults see that we may not be alone in trying to do grad school with a family. We really enjoyed the day, and all of the generosity and spirit that came with it. Many thanks!" -Sherri, current TGS student

Sponsored by TGS and funded in part by Community Building Grants, TGS Day Out is dedicated entirely to graduate student parents and their families.  The Graduate School is committed to improving the quality of life for our students and their families, and believes that providing this kind of event promotes a stronger sense of community among graduate students.

If you have questions, suggestions, or would like additional information about TGS Day Out, please contact Antoaneta Condurat.
