The graduate student spring picnic (“Spring Picnic”) is the start of a new Georgia Tech tradition to be held every year in Spring semester.

Spring Picnic is envisioned to offer graduate students a space to relax from crazy, hectic study schedule and mingle with their peers while having a fun time. Students will experience the various traditions at Tech as well as have a fun time with friends, food, games and much more.

Graduate Student Government Association (GSGA) strives to make this event as welcoming, engaging, and fun as possible. With Fall Picnic attended by about 2,400 graduate students we aim the this new Tradition to be smaller but – with no less than 1,200 attendees.

For this year, GSGA will collaborate with Grad Student Appreciation Week for the first time to celebrate Grad students and acknowledge their efforts. This initiative, sponsored by the Graduate Resource and Information Network (GRIN), is aligned with the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students' Graduate-Professional Student Appreciation Week. The Spring Picnic will be held on April 3rd, 2019 at Tech Green from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, aiming to bond graduate students through this carnival-themed event.

This event is going to be an amazing opportunity for new graduate students to get introduced to various traditions and history of Georgia Tech as well as have a fun time with friends, food, games and much more. What makes Grad Spring Picnic even more special this year, is the fact that we are going to have it in the Grad Student Appreciation Week! Come with your friends, enjoy the games, carnival atmosphere, music and food and learn a little more about Tech Traditions!
