[GSC-HCA-Offcampus] Off-campus events and announcements

[Luke Jensen]

Dear fellow off-campus graduate students,

We're in the home stretch of this semester and the sunny sky is reminding
us that summer is just around the corner. For now, here are a few
announcements about upcoming activities and opportunities for free food.

If you have a suggestion for an event or an issue regarding off-campus
life that could be relevant for discussion with the GSC, please let us know.

Hope to see you at an event soon!

Your off-campus co-chairs,
Luke and Kelsey
