Hi posties!
There has been a suggestion that we create an open door policy for the PSA Lounge. This would mean that, instead of you having to book the key and borrow it if you want to use the lounge, we would leave it open for any postgrad to use during business hours. If you want to use it for a specific meeting or seminar, you would still be able to do so by making an exclusive booking through Guild Reception.
What do you think? Would this make you use the Lounge more frequently? As always, email psa@guild.uwa.edu.au with your thoughtful thoughts.
Handover has gone really well, I think the 2013 committee are going to ROCK your SOCKS! If you want to get in on the action, available positions are below!
Oh, and go to the Summer School, it looks fun! Deets below. We’re over 300 likes on Facebook!! You’re the best posties, you’ve made an old President pretty happy!
Big hugs,
Aisling

Notices
Check your student email!! Your student email is where the GRS communicates with you – regardless of if you have a staff account, or still use the same Hotmail account you set up when you were 12 years old. Check that and StudentConnect at least once a week to ensure that you don’t have any outstanding fines, fees, milestones which might lead to an encumbrance – this would prevent the automatic re-enrollment of research students! Bad times for everyone.
TL;DR – don’t start whinging at Gemma if you’re not re-enrolled, check your student email now.
2013 PSA Committee: There are still some positions open on the 2013 committee, so if you’ve got the desire to volunteer and a passion for postgraduates, shoot me an email!
