Graduate Student Community Resources

The Winthrop campus and community truly sets our university apart. But so often it's hard to find the time or know where to look, especially for those students who have full-time jobs, families, or live outside Rock Hill. We’re committed to ensuring you have the tools and connections to succeed both inside and outside the classroom, and we hope that this space can help you to establish and build those connections and to embrace everything that Winthrop has to offer.

If there's something that you would like to see, or have ideas for other ways to engage with students in the community, please reach out. We want to hear from you.

 

We'd also love if you took the time to provide insight into the types of events that you'd like to see in the future, as well as the best times for those events to take place:

 

And be sure to checkout the events and offerings during our annual spring Graduate Student Appreciation Week!
