[Gsc-hca-offcampus] Upcoming Events

[Jeffrey T Chambers]

Hi Off-Campus Grads,

I hope the term has been going well for you. It's been a while since 
off-campus has had an event, but don't worry, we've found a venue for an 
off-campus Halloween party. Thanks to the off-campus grads that are 
organizing the party. There are also many other events happening around 
campus this next week.

As always, please send your ideas for future off-campus events, or 
better yet, volunteer to organize an event. They are easy to run and are 
a great way to have the GSC partially subsidize an activity you've 
always wanted to do while meeting other off-campus grads.
