GSS Weekly Newsletter!‏

Dear Graduate Students,

It’s almost All Hallow’s Eve! This week, the GSS Weekly Newsletter comes early and nutty because there are things you ought to know now:

The GSS Halloween Party is this Friday. Our resident spook has questions. I like to play nice with the spooks where I can, so I have my ticket. You can get yours here, and here for your non-grad guest. Or just come pick ’em up at the GSS office during office hours.

Want a plan for earlier Friday evening?

– Bring your kids (and/or friends) to the GSS Pumpkin Carving Event

– Go to the First Friday Queer Grad Student Social @ Koerner’s Pub

– On Thursday, the coffee social is a Murder Mystery Party! Are you the ultimate detective?

– In times of Ghosts, Ghouls and Financial pressure, GSS exists for you as members of the Graduate Student body. We’re currently advocating for a BC Graduate Scholarship. Read on.

– Join the team! Apply to be The GSS Council Speaker

– Looking for extra money? You could teach GRE & GMAT Preparation Courses in Vancouver on the Weekend!

I shall not get away with this next week! Carpe Diem, friends. Be awesome!
