During this week, we celebrate the positive impact our graduate students have on our GSBS community. To show our appreciation, the Graduate School invites you to check out a full week of activities designed to celebrate you - grab some swag, invest in your professional development, take a new professional photo, get social, and share in the fun as we celebrate YOU!
GSBS faculty and staff have also left messages to graduate students on our GSAW Kudoboard. Please take a moment to check out their posts!

Professional Portrait Sessions Maybe you don’t have a professional headshot, or perhaps it has been awhile since you last took one? Now is your opportunity to get a professional photo to use for the GSBS website and for all your other professional needs. This is highly recommended for students who currently do not have a professional headshot AND for students planning to graduate in the next 1-2 years in need of an updated professional picture. You must sign up for a portrait studio session, in advance, and practice social distancing in line at the portrait studio located at McGovern Medical School Basement, Room B.340 [6431 Fannin Street]. Please check UTHealth Shuttle Schedule for an easy trip to MMS. >> All portrait slots have been booked. If you would like to be placed on a waiting list, please email raquel.y.salinas@uth.tmc.edu << |
