New and Improved Welcome BBQ

Hello, History Graduate Students!

The HGSC Welcome Barbeque, much like the phoenix of myth, has risen from the ashes. It has resurrected to provide you the opportunity to celebrate the start of term and meet up with friends and colleagues, both old and new.

When: Friday, 26 September, 5:30PM

Where: 811 8th Ave N

What: Barbeque and Potluck. The HGSC will provide meat and veggie burgers, as well as some non-alcoholic beverages. We are asking everyone to please pitch in and bring a salad, a side, a dessert, or some extra beverages. BYOB

**Every year we try to guess the amount of veg burgers to buy and every year we get it wrong, so if you're a vegetarian/prefer veg and are thinking of attending, please email michelle[dot]desveaux [at]gmail.com so we can try to get the number right for once.**

How to get there: Route 4 Mayfair (provided it is running) stops a block away on 7th Ave N. It is also a relatively short walk from downtown. Please plan ahead to get home safe; if you will be drinking arrange for a sober ride home.

Partners and families are, of course, welcome, and we hope to see you all there!

Are you wondering what to do once you have completed graduate studies? Unsure about career options?

Meet with Student Employment and Career Centre (SECC) staff to learn more about SECC programs and services that are available to you, find out about career possibilities for graduate students, and learn how to effectively market your skills and expertise to potential employers.  This panel session will include answers to some common questions that graduate students ask, followed by the opportunity to network with SECC staff and ask your specific questions either in a group setting or one-on-one.

Be sure to register early as spots will fill quickly!

We look forward to meeting you!
