Hi All,
A few announcements:
The PSGSA will be doing some spring cleaning in the grad students lounge, and request that all items be removed from the fridge, as we will be unplugging it to allow for cleaning. Any items that are not removed or specifically labelled by tomorrow (Thursday, April 13th) at 4:00 PM will be thrown out.
In addition, Monday April 17th at 10:00 AM will be the final coffee time for this term. Please come down to the grad students lounge for a cup of coffee or tea, and feel free to bring a snack or treat to share with the group!
We look forward to seeing you there!
