Graduate Student
Associations Workshop
January 29, 2010, 1-4pm, Max Kade Center
(7th Floor, Old Chemistry)
This
workshop will be hosted by the GSGA Vice-President, Peggy
Shannon-Baker. The purpose of this workshop is to address
questions, comments, and problems graduate student groups have
been having with the following:
-Increasing graduate student involvement within the group in a
positive manner
-Event organizing (from figuring out an appropriate event, to
organizing, finding speakers, funding, etc)
-GSGA
funding and fundraising (for groups and individuals)
From my interaction
with the various GSGA groups, I have been able to experience
how each group operates, what they specifically offer their
students, where each group would like to improve, and what
issues they're facing. Many of these aspects overlap multiple
groups, and yet there hasn't been a concrete mechanism to
allow conversation among these groups to share their
histories, issues, and ideas. Thus the organization of this
workshop is meant to facilitate such discussion among current
and future graduate student group leaders. Therefore
participants are asked to bring questions, ideas, and
information about any of the above items, or anything else
relevant to graduate students/groups. Here is a tentative
schedule:
1pm: Introductions;
Graduate Student Involvement
1:45pm: Event
Organizing
2:30pm: LUNCH
(Provided by GSGA)
3pm: GSGA funding
3:30pm: Any
additional discussion
This is a tentative
schedule to give attendees an idea of what topics will be
covered when so that they can plan according to their
schedules. Also the times are not definitive. Since this is a
discussion-defined workshop, some sections may run over or
finish early; this depends on the attendees.
