Hi everyone, 

The first GEA meeting of the school year will take place this Friday, September 22, from 4-6pm in JHB 719. You will find the agenda for the upcoming meeting attached to this email. At the meeting, we will be holding “elections” for this year’s representatives. In particular, we are looking for a Vice President to carry out this year’s duties. 

 Last year’s representatives are not required to give a report; however, you are welcome to do so. 

 After the meeting, we will be hosting a welcome pub night at the Fox and Fiddle (280 Bloor St. W) at 6:30pm. Come join us for food, drinks, and a chance to meet GEA execs, committee members, and fellow grad students. 

All the best for the start of the school year, and hope to see many of you on Friday! 

-Meg Desmond, GEA Secretary
