On behalf of the Psychology Graduate Student Association (PGSA), I am pleased to welcome everyone back to school. The goals of PGSA are to provide support to students, communicate student needs and ideas to the department, and facilitate networking and social events throughout the year. As your PGSA President, I look forward to hearing your department-related ideas, concerns, and questions. I will also solicit your feedback each month for our report to the Executive Committee.
Three important notes:
1) Keep up-to-date on the new PGSA blog.This site will contain information about upcoming events, links to student accomplishments, relevant calls for abstracts/papers, and copies of PGSA reports presented to the department. Don't forget to friend USC PGSA on Facebook, too!
2) Send me feedback and updates! The PGSA officers are currently planning social functions for the year, as well as brainstorming ways to increase resources and support available to students. Also - don't forget to brag on your friends/lab mates by sending me student accomplishments (awards, publications, life stage progressions, etc.).
3) Mark your calendars for these upcoming PGSA events:
Happy Hour Thursdays - Drop in and mingle with fellow psychology students and faculty the last Thursday of each month (locations will vary). The first PGSA Happy Hour will be at Thirsty Fellow this Thursday, August 25th, 5:30-7:30 PM.
PGSA Student Welcome Back Potluck Party - Join us celebrate the start of a new school year and meet other students (and families, significant others, etc) on Friday, September 9th from 7pm "until" at Jason Bird's house. Please RSVP and get more info here: http://www.punchbowl.com/parties/2480508-pgsa-back-to-school-party.
It's going to be a great year!
