Several of the School’s graduate students completed the 2nd Annual Degree Dash, a fun run hosted by the Graduate School. Participants set their goal for the 5.7 miles for the Doctoral Derby or the 1.75 mile Master’s Mile. The race distances were based on average time-to-degree. The event start and finish line was iconic Bascom Hill.

Runners received a t-shirt or water bottle, photo with Bucky, a Degree Dash diploma, and information to get their semester off to a strong start.
