Graduate Student Survey and my "Free Food" Radar

Good news! The survey we're conducting for Dan Smith our graduate student representative on the Presidential Search Committee is underway and so far we've gotten around 456 responses. This is great way to voice your opinion about your experience here at University at Albany and help us in representing you in choosing our new Unversity President.

Thank you if you've already filled out the survey. For those of you who haven't done so yet, we've sent out a reminder today for students to fill out the survey, one to the entire graduate student listserv and another to the GSO Listserv. If you got it twice then I apologize for the cross over e-mail, but sure appreciate your help. If you haven't gotten it at all but want to fill out the survey please let me know and I'll send you the link. (gso@albany.edu)

Also, last month on February 13th, the GSO took a traffic count of how many graduate students come into the GSO Office in a day. Our finding is that well over 125 graduate students came in! We were open from 10am-8pm that day, that's about 10 hours. Basically around 12.5 people enter the office at some point per hour.

It's a really nice to know that you can meet graduate students from so many different disciplines at the GSO office or through one of the many events we sponsor!

OH! one last thing... I mean two... two last things. If you happen to be at the Campus Center tomorrow around noonish there'll be a Food Show right at the bottom of the stairs from the GSO Office. Last year I went and sampled the variety of different foods from the different vendors. :9 And don't forget! This Friday there will be free food at the office for St. Patrick's Day!!!! Cornbeef and cabbage, etc... to find out exactly what's on the menu write the MCAA chair.
