Hey all.
Here we go again with another year. PAGSA would like to welcome all the new
graduate students to the department this year. We’re glad to have you guys here.
The first PAGSA meeting of the year will be
held on Friday, September 7th at 1:00 in the conference room
across from the office. We hope to
see a lot of old and all the new faces in the department there.
Finally, the Journal Club will be going this
year. Michael Mayo is looking for
speakers to present. Having two or
three speakers each Journal Club meeting would be really nice and makes
for quite the event. Everyone who
attends can buy pizza at a dollar a slice.
