Join Gies Graduate Programs in celebrating Graduate Student Appreciation Week with a baseball game and tailgate at Illinois Field (601 E. Kirby Avenue Champaign, IL) as Illinois takes on the University of New Orleans at 6:00 PM. Starting at 5:30 PM, meet us on the tailgate patios behind the outfield wall for food, refreshments, and a chance to connect with fellow graduate students before and during the game (admission is free). Please note that seating is not provided on the tailgate patios, so you are welcome to bring a lawn chair if you would like to sit during the event. Please register by Wednesday, April 8. We look forward to celebrating with you and connecting at the ballpark!
