Founded in 2016, the Graduate Student Retention Through Wellness working group (NO/NO) is an award-winning, student-run, arts-centered, community-building initiative designed to support the psychological, social, and cultural well-being of graduate students. The program creates intentional spaces where we can engage with the arts — without expectations of leadership, representation, or labor — while building meaningful connections across our diverse disciplines and identities. An increasing number of graduate students and their guests (currently around 1000) attend approximately 50 events annually.
