Elections are right around the corner! If you are interested in any of the 6 executive positions listed below be sure to have your nomination in by Nov 23 midnight! There will be a meeting on Nov 26 at noon in the Graduate Nursing Student Lounge for nominees to have the witness portion of the form signed.

6 executive vacancies: Chair, co-Chair, Finance Officer, Events Officer, Communications Officer, and Administrative Officer (see position descriptions attached). The sustainability of the GSNA depends on having willing and committed Officers who are able to work with the Executive for a one-year term: January to December 2014. 

Today is the last day to vote for the referendum. Please do so if you have not.

The next GSNA meeting will be tomorrow, Oct 15 from 12:00-1:00 in the grad lounge. We will be going over the referendum results, ratifying the constitution, symposium plans, and much much more. Hope to see you there!

The GSNA Referendum is now open for voting until Oct 14th.

The GSNA is holding this referendum to approve a tuition fee increase of $25/yr to support GSNA activities, such as the graduate nursing research symposium, pub clubs, town halls, etc.

Please vote!

Our upcoming GSNA referendum is coming up very soon: October 7th-14th!

While the GSNA strives to improve your graduate experience by providing peer support, networking, and opportunities to advance your skills, it is difficult to achieve this without financial support.

That is why the GSNA is holding a referendum asking you to vote on whether you approve a tuition fee increase, starting next term, of $25.00/year to support GSNA activities.

If approved by a majority vote, the money would be used to fund GSNA activities, such as the graduate nursing research symposium, pub clubs, town halls, and to purchase GSNA emblazoned materials to hand out at our events (i.e. pencils, flyers).

The polls will be open October 7th at noon until October 14th at midnight. Voting is very simple. All you have to do is sign in to the student service centre (https://ssc.adm.ubc.ca/sscportal/servlets/SRVSSCFramework

), look under the grades and records tab for WEBVOTE, and vote on the GSNA referendum.

Please vote (even if you do not agree!) and spread the word. If you have any questions please email kristi.panchuk@alumni.ubc.ca orsarah.liva@alumni.ubc.ca,

Please keep alert for upcoming emails re: the GSNA referendum.

Thanks! The GSNA team

Just a reminder of the first meeting coming up Sept 17 at noon in the grad lab (3rd floor UBC Hospital). Bring your lunch!

The agenda is full! Come prepared to discuss and be part of changes made to the GSNA, budget, and our place in space (or maybe UBC).

With a number of exciting changes and things going on there is opportunity to take part in a committee or two. In addition, there are 2 vacant spots on the GSNA exec that need filling. We need a co-chair and an events coordinator!

The email that will be circulated will have all the details. Hope to see you there.

Hello and Welcome!

Summer is winding down and with that, comes more rainy days, papers, funding deadlines, and perhaps some snow! So, why not swing by the GSNA meeting on the 17th.

Here are the details:

Tuesday September 17th at noon in the Graduate Student Lounge.

There are lots of opportunities to get involved, get connected, and meet other students. 🙂

Hope you can make it 🙂
