Subject: PSGSA Reminder: UPASS vote
Hi everyone,
Just a friendly reminder to all Plant Science graduate students.
The Graduate Students' Association is currently carrying out their UPASS referendum and as such will be emailing all graduate students with instructions and a link to the online voting system and a password. Voting polls will be closing tomorrow (October 30th) at 8pm.
It is important to cast your vote whether you are in favour of implementing the UPASS or not. It will only take a few minutes.
Thank you,
Gagan Sidhu
GSA co-councilor
