WORKSHOP: HOW TO GET PUBLISHED

Learn to navigate the world of the printed word. Come to our “How to Get Published” workshop on Feb. 18 at 2:00PM in the Merrill Room.

HGSA Spring kick off

jfrankli — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 21:27:15 +0000

Rather than holding a time consuming meeting to discuss routine housekeeping issues, the HGSA executive officers have composed a summary letter to keep everyone informed and on the same page. If you did not receive a copy of the letter via email, and would like one, please contact Jon at jfrankli@umd.edu. Simply put “HGSA update letter” in the subject heading.

Update….finally

HGSA has concluded its workshop series for the semester, special thanks to Kim Welch, Ted Cohen, and Rob Chiles for lending a hand.
The last HGSA colloquium of the semester will be held Thursday, Dec. 10th @ 12:00. Melissa Kravetz is presenting.
Don’t forget, the holiday part is Saturday, Dec. 12th. Fun starts around 8:00.
Also, Costco has stopped carrying Coke products for the time being, so the co-op will have to switch to Pepsi products. I know, I know. We’ll just have to do our best to get through these tough times.
HGSA is just about shutdown for the semester. If we’ve missed something, or you have suggestions for next semester, please contact Jon Franklin @ jfrankli@umd.edu. Good night, and good luck.

The HGSA soccer team “We’re History” ended its impressive play-off run with a not so impressive 8(?)-2 loss against the entomology department earlier this week. Still, the squad demonstrated incredible spirit and tenacity. Great work “We’re History!”
The next HGSA meeting has been announced. It will be held on Monday, Oct. 19th at 4:00 pm in the 3rd floor lounge.

Victory!

We’re History, the HGSA soccer team, followed a lackluster regular season campaign with a spirited 1-0 win in the first round of the playoffs. We’re History dominated the second half of play to ensure passage to round 2 of the Grad Student League playoffs.
More important than the win (although it was huge), 12 people showed up to play! Although this created some frustration due to a lack of equal playing time, it was great to see such a strong demonstration of departmental community.

Dewey Defeats Truman!

Election results are in. Congratulations to Reid Gustafson, the first HGSA Student Interest Liaison.
“Preparing the prospectus,” “grant writing,” and “how to get published” were the three most popular workshop choices. More information on these session is forthcoming.
