The beginning of February is almost upon us and it seems that there is some collective interest in holding a “business meeting” as opposed to our usual “First Friday” social event. Now that we have quite a few people who are eager to be a part of this network it seems like it’s a great time to have a meeting of minds and discuss things like:
– What do we want this network to look like going forward?
– What needs to queer grad students have and how can this network help to meet them?
– What are some ideas for future events?
– What strategies should we use to spread the word to more queergrads?
– Do we want to get any “official” recognition from the university?
– What are some ideas for future social events?
– etc.!
We hope you can join us for what I’m sure will be a lively and productive meeting! We will be holding the meeting in the Anthropology & Sociology Building (ANSO) because this was the easiest place to book a room, but in the future we can certainly hold it elsewhere if ANSO is not convenient for folks. One advantage of ANSO is that it’s just a hop, skip, and jump away from Koerner’s Pub so if people want to continue the discussion over a couple of beers after the meeting ends, that will be very easy to arrange. Please note that we are keeping the meeting to only one hour in recognition of the fact that we are all very busy people, so if you can make it, please do your best to come a few minutes early–we’ll begin promptly at 3:00!
Here are the DETAILS:
When: Thursday, Feb. 3rd, 3:00 – 4:00 pm
Where: ANSO 2107 (main level, right next to the Sociology Main office)
