Graduate Student Appreciation Week started on a very small scale in 1993 by the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students (NAGPS) and the celebration expands each year. The mission of the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students is to develop a network to connect graduate and professional students across the United States and facilitate the sharing of information and best practices to empower members.
