happy hour, grad lounge, quant certificate!

Please note three important updates, including details from the recent executive committee meeting:

1) Don't forget about PGSA Happy Hour THIS THURSDAY, 9/29 from 5:30-7:30 at Jake's (2112 Devine St)!

2) The Executive Committee (chaired by Dr. Henderson) recently discussed potential modifications to our graduate student space, such as increasing the utility of the graduate student lounge and condensing the graduate computer lab. Dr. Henderson would like graduate student input regarding any potential changes. As such, please e-mail Bridgette (kellehbl@mailbox.sc.edu) by October 1st if you are interested meeting with Dr. Henderson as part of a student focus group on graduate student space (will be scheduled around participants' availability). This group is a great opportunity to contribute to the department and represent your fellow students!

3) During the Executive Committee meeting, Dr. Henderson indicated intentions to endorse the proposed Quantitative Area of Emphasis. Although the program must still be formally approved, his endorsement marks substantial progress toward making this exciting opportunity a reality. Thank you to all of the students and faculty who have worked on this proposal.

As always, please continue to send news for the PGSA blog and friend PGSA on Facebook!

Best,

Bridgette
PGSA President
