 ===== Announcements =====
-==== [2007-03-26] GPAW: National Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week (April 2-6) ====
-Join us in celebrating National Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week. Events include Graduate Student Pizza Party, Professional Development Workshops, Interdisciplinary Perspectives, and much more. A full schedule of events along with details can be found at [[http://www.utexas.edu/studentgov/gsa/news/index.php?id=177|this link]].
-==== [2007-03-26] Natural Sciences Dean Review Student Forum ====
+If you are a graduate student in Computer Science who would like to be involved in Graduate Student Assembly, there is an opening to be an alternate representative. Alternate representatives attend meetings and vote when the primary representative is unable to do so. Please contact Jeremy Stober (stober at cs) if you are interested.
-** **The Natural Sciences Dean Review Committee is hosting an open forum to hear student feedback on Tuesday March 27, 2007 from 5-6pm in PHR 2.110.  Please come voice your opinion!
-Is the Dean accessible to hear your concerns?  Is there anything you think our college/Dean does better than other colleges?  Is there anything that you wish our college/Dean would do better? Grad Students, how do you feel about: Amount of TA positions, Stipends for TAs, Teaching support and help, Career advising, Department research support, Department support in general?What have we left off the list?  Come let us know!
+The proportion of representatives in GSA is changing. This will not affect our department, but some of the larger departments will be able to appoint or elect more representatives. Since this is a GSA constitutional amendment, it is still awaiting approval by the administration. [ Note: I voted for this amendment last semester. Based on my experience with GSA, the success of the assembly is due in large part to having a motivated member base. Though it does not affect our department directly, this legislation increases the ability of the body to draw on motivated members elsewhere in the graduate student community. --J. Stober ]
-==== [2007-03-26] Keep UT Hate Free Week ====
+There is a resolution pending in support of the creation of a student committee to look at budget and tuition issues. [ Note: I plan on voting in support of the resolution. The creation of this kind of committee will give graduate students a greater degree of input into budget and tuition issues, and hopefully serve to add some clarity to the budget/tuition process. --J. Stober]
