Graduate-Professional Student Appreciation Week at the TLC

The UCLA Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) will participate in National Graduate-Professional Student Appreciation Week from March 30 to April 3. UCLA’s approximately 13,600 graduate students play a critical role in advancing instructional excellence on campus as committed instructors, section leaders, graders, and teaching assistants in the classroom. Elevating excellent teaching for all students is outlined in the UCLA for Life flagship initiative, a part of Chancellor Julio Frenk’s One UCLA campaign, and graduate students’ impact as effective educators remains integral to the university’s ongoing success.

The TLC will be hosting an event to celebrate UCLA graduate students as part of National Graduate-Professional Student Appreciation Week:
