GSEE invites you to celebrate with your fellow graduate students, your milestones, your achievements, and all the big things yet to come at GSEE's Spring Soirée 2026! Our theme this year is
Stronger Together. We are astonished by the GSEE graduates who have crossed boundaries, overcome adversity, and balanced the weighty and real things of life and academia. Yet here you are, chasing and accomplishing your dreams! We will have student speakers, an informal cording ceremony, crafts, music, food, and treats!
Note: This event is open to current, continuing GSEE graduate students, graduating GSEE graduate students, and GSEE alumni! Come celebrate the close of the academic year with us!
There is no strict dress code, but feel free to dress fancy, something that makes you feel the most YOU! (Please note that Deans, Faculty and Staff may be in attendance).
We look forward to seeing you there! Doors open at 4:30 PM PST.
