GSAG Google Group |
| Posted by: phil on 10/06/2009 06:33 PM (Read: 208) |
The new officers of the Graduate Student Affinity Group of the AAG (GSAG) are pleased to announce the GSAG Google Group! Although the group has existed for a while, we would like to redirect and restate its purpose. Its purpose is to create an interactive, inter-departmental group to facilitate discussion surrounding issues facing geography graduate students. One does not have to be a member of GSAG or AAG to be a part of the group. Rather, one only has to be a graduate student. To avoid mass-spam, the group will be password protected. To join, please send an e-mail to GSAG Secretary/Treasurer Christopher Riley or GSAG Chair Nick Crane and we will invite you into the group.
