GSS Weekly Newsletter
Dear Graduate Students,
Are you looking for
a) a break from your academic life
b) an excuse to escape the glare from your computer screen
c) a cheap dinner option
d) a reason to put on your old dancing shoes
e) good music and fun times
f) all of the above?
You’re in luck! The Graduate Student Society is hosting a New Term Party this Friday, January 24th in the GSS Ballroom. Tickets are $10 for grad students and $15 for non-grads… Unlike cover at a club downtown this cost not only includes a professional DJ and a floor to dance on… it also provides you with free food! (We also promise not to charge you for coat-check 
). Tickets can be purchased online or in person at the GSS Office.
