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

[HCA Off-Campus Chair]

Dear fellow off-campus graduate students,

In this newsletter, you'll see a new format for some off-campus social
events. The old format (lottery-based selection) isn't going away, but we
wanted to try this for some events. It's first-come, first-served with
several events posted simultaneously. If you're quick at the keyboard, sign
up for one that works for you! The signups are limit to one per person.

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. If
you have an event that you would like advertised to this list, use this
form: http://tinyurl.com/offcampusnews. We're always looking for help
brainstorming and organizing new events.

Your off-campus co-chairs,
Luke and Kelsey
