Newsletter 30th May 2012

Hi Postgrads!
Missed you! I’ve just gotten back from a conference, thus my silence for the last two weeks. Exciting times – we finalised the Small Grants and Travel Award recipients for the first round of 2012 and they have been informed by a nice letter. The process has led us to reconsider the format of the awards in 2012 and we will be making some changes before the next round opens. Keep your eyes peeled!
Coursework students, your new Coursework officer has been duly appointed! Congrats Brian!
How is everyone going with printing and pay? Is there any other issue I can help with?
Remember to pay your SSAF! Encumbrances are not your friend!

Sleepy? You can nap in the PSA Lounge! Ask for the key at Guild reception. Also, there is a microwave you can use! (keep it clean, or I’ll write passive aggressive post-it notes).
