Graduate Sports Program
Graduate students in UCSD often find themselves in highly stressful environments, with long hours spent in research labs, deadlines to meet, and high expectations to fulfill. This can take a toll on their mental and physical well-being, leading to burnout and decreased productivity. To address the need for an outlet to relieve stress and improve overall well-being, GSP proposes to establish an inter-departmental graduate student sports organization at UCSD. This organization aims to bring together graduate students from different departments, and all skill levels, to play sports together for recreation and community
