EGSA Digest 4.13.10

* Notes from our last EGSA General Meeting (attached)
This meeting was so well-attended and lively I didn’t even try to be witty in my notes. Read the attached documents for lots of important information about the identity of EGSA, conference study committees, independent studies, social events, and more.

* Note from Dr. Losey concerning advisement: “Lois Avey or Julie Sherrod can lift their flags (advisement)?”

* This Friday: The Penultimate English Dept. Tea!
The tea is a great place to mix with professors and give input/ hear feedback from professors about questions, seminar wishes, etc. (2:30 in lounge, as usual).

* A fun opportunity from GSA (via Vivien): Dia Tournaments!
