September is a bit of a crazy time for all of us, so (as is evident by the lack of gathering yesterday!) the Steering Committee decided not to skip directly to October. We will meet on October 7 at 6pm, at The Wolf and Hound. We’ll also organize to have a group leave campus together, to help grad students who have just arrived at UBC (but not just them!) find the Wolf and Hound and join us.
We held a booth on Thursday at the grad student fair during the GSS orientation, and it went fantastically – I hope we will see many people check out this website as a result! If this is your first time here, don’t forget that you can follow us on facebook and/or join our mailing list (see column on the right). 🙂
Finally, the start of the year seems like a good time to do a shout-out to Pride UBC, the UBC Resource Groups for LGBTQ students and their allies. They have lots of good events coming up already, as well as regular weekly discussion groups and other things that can be of interest to grad students.
