Graduate Student Life

As a graduate student, you may find yourself primarily focused on the "life of the mind". However, we recognize that you are whole people that join our UofL graduate student community. We hope that you will not only find your place here, but find your community, both within our campus community as well as the city of Louisville. 

We want you to thrive, not just as students, but as people, and look forward to celebrating you along the way!
