The GPSA Executive team is ending the semester with several events for graduate and professional students, including a virtual paint night and free ice cream.
Students can stop by Ferdinand’s Ice Cream Shoppe to pick up an ice cream cone of their choosing, GPSA Programming Chair Rachel Wong said during the GPSA Executive Board meeting Thursday. To receive the dessert, the person’s identification must say either graduate or professional student.
She said the event is from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. April 7.
GPSA senators will also host a second virtual paint night 6-8 p.m. April 23 via Zoom.
Starting today through March 19, WSU undergraduate and graduate students can support local Pullman restaurants with $5 off their meal as the third Restaurant Week kicks off.
The first 50 undergraduate students and the first 50 graduate students each day will receive the discount. The discount does not apply to alcohol. ASWSU and GPSA host the event in partnership with various restaurants in the community, GPSA Programming Chair Rachel Wong said.
Restaurant Week started last year at the beginning of the pandemic because local restaurants were not getting a lot of business because of COVID-19 restrictions. Wong said GPSA had the funds to provide discounts for students and that the week was a way to encourage students to eat locally.
