Grad Pub

Next Grad Pub: in the Fall...

Sponsored by the Graduate Student Government

Grad Pub is a GSG-sponsored bi-weekly happy hour for graduate students and their guests. It is an excellent opportunity to meet people from other programs, grab some free food, and relax after a hard week. Take a minute to read our FAQ, and then make plans to come on down to the Pub!

Maryland Club at the Alumni Center

Grad Pub is now located in Maryland Club, the Alumni Center's sports bar, on the first level.

When is Grad Pub?

Grad Pub will begin at 3:30 pm on most payday Fridays (as well as some extra Fridays). Last call is at 7:00pm. There is free food and cheap drinks.

 

Who can come to Grad Pub?

Graduate students and their guests are welcome. Faculty and staff members who work with graduate students are welcome as well. We invite departments to make a day of it and invite their entire graduate program down to the Pub. We regularly have departmental groups at Grad Pub, occasionally numbering 15 or more.

We are also looking for sponsors for additional Grad Pubs. If you are interested, contact us directly at 301-314-8630, or email Bethany Applebaum, our Vice President for Community Development at gsg-vpcd-=AT=-umd.edu.

What kind of food and drink will there be?

Menu varies from Pub to Pub.

  • House Wine $3
  • Premium beer (Corona, Beck’s, Beck’s Dark and Sierra Nevada) $3
  • Bud & Bud light bottles: $2
  • Mixed Drinks and Champagne $4
  • Soda $1
  • Juice $2

 

If you have a request for a particular menu item or beer/drink, please let our VP for Community Development, Bethany Applebaum (gsg-vpcd-=AT=-umd.edu) know.

Is it actually fun?

Yes!! Grad Pub has been a great place to make new friends, professional connections, or even romances.

Come alone and make new friends, come with people from your program or other friends -- no matter what it's a great way to socialize and unwind after a long week.

Do I need to bring any kind of identification?

Aside from a photo-ID if you are going to consume alcoholic beverages, we ask that you bring your student ID with you as well.

Are there any other social events for Grad Students?

The Office of Graduate Student Life (www.gsl.umd.edu) organizes regular social outings (hiking trips, trips to DC) for Grad Students. The Graduate Student Government is in the process of planning more social events as well. You can check out the GSG Calendar for more information about social events at http://www.gsg.umd.edu/calendar/
