Elections and Prospectus Workshop

There will be an AEGS meeting this coming Monday, September 21st from 3:30-4:30 in the Figgins conference room (2-288 Wilson, our regular meeting space).

During this meeting, we will elect two first-year grad students to the positions of Secretary and Treasurer as per the AEGS by-laws. If you are in your first year and would like to serve, come on Monday prepared to nominate yourself.

Following the electoral portion of our Monday meeting, our faculty advisor Dr. Robert Bennett will give a workshop on prospectus writing and prospectus-related deadlines. This is an immediately relevant topic to those of us in our second year, but is also very useful for first years who want to get a jump on their thesis work!

Hopefully you will all be able to join us for this, our first full meeting of this academic year.

Welcome Back!

Hello, all!

As your new president for the 2009-2010 academic year, let me welcome both our returning members and our new faces! We hope to have another great year in AEGS!

Our first official meeting of the new year will be Monday September 14 from 3:30-4:00 in the small second-floor conference room in Wilson hall. This meeting will be a brief introduction to AEGS and to your fellow members.

Immediately following the meeting (from 4-5:30pm), there is a reception for all English graduate students and staff at The Habit restaurant in the quads. This reception is an excellent chance to meet the faculty, mingle with your fellow grad students, and generally have a pleasant time getting to know the people of the MSU English department.

I do hope all our members will join us for both the meeting and the reception!

Cheers, all, and welcome to a new year of AEGS!
