A farewell and announcements

Posted: August 12, 2008 – 5:59 pm

Dear fellow graduate students,

I hope you’re all enjoying a beautiful summer break–whether you’re relaxing, researching, working or writing feverishly on that dissertation. This email has several purposes: a more personal announcement and then a couple items of interest for UofR graduate students to follow.

On a personal note, it is with regret that I will no longer be serving as the Graduate Organizing Group Speaker, effective immediately. Read More »

Parking Permit Policy Change

Posted: July 31, 2008 – 12:04 pm

Graduate students from several departments have recently raised objections to Parking Services’ new policy which no longer allows graduate students to deduct parking pass payments from their before-tax income (payroll deductions). GOG recently sent a letter to Dean Heinzelman on behalf of concerned graduate students regarding these changes. To read the letter and/or comment on this issue, please visit the GOG Advocacy Forum.

Clothing Drive and Book Swap!

Posted: April 20, 2008 – 11:07 pm

Feel like a little spring cleaning? Do you have unwanted clothes in your wardrobe that you’ve been meaning to give away? Read all those books on your shelves and dying for something new? Or do you just feel like taking a study break and hanging out for an hour with your fellow grads?

Well, look no further, on Sunday, April 27th from 1pm-4pm in the Gowen Room of Wilson Commons, the Graduate Organizing Group would like to invite all graduate students to bring in those unwanted clothes in a bag or a box and we’ll donate them to the Goodwill for you.

As for the books, like the traditional book swaps of our elementary-school days, when you bring in your books, you’ll be given a slip of paper with the number of books you brought in. You may then choose up to that number of books from the already donated books to take home with you (so if you bring in four books, you can take up to four different books home with you). Books for books! What could be better than that! And any books left over after the swap will be donated to the University of Rochester’s Friends of the Library.

Coffee and cookies will be provided for anyone who donates books and/or clothes. Please email Aviva (adovevie[at]mail.rochester.edu) with questions and we hope to see you there!
