BGSA positions to be filled!
Hey BGSA!
Thanks to everyone showing up to our BGSA information night last Thursday! I think we generated a lot of interest in some positions we have yet to fill. One correction: we only have one WIPS position that needs to be filled. More information will follow about the election process, but here is a list of positions where NO ONE has even expressed interest in:
- AGSEM (TA union reps, 2 positions)
- PGSS
- Green Committee
- Secretary
So think about those! Feel free to email me with any questions in the meantime before the elections get underway. I’m also looking for someone to organize a Staff Appreciation Day in May if you are interested.
Also note that there are several upcoming events! A science writing seminar next week, our monthly coffee hour next Wednesday, and the BGSA General Assembly is scheduled for May 3rd! Hope to see you at all of them!
Upcoming Events
Science Writing Seminar: “Scientists as writers”
- What: A one-hour information session for science writing given by a researcher from University of Laval
