Academic Group & Pastry Thursday

Dear fellow students,

I am writing this brief email to let you know about two items of interest.

First, we have officially started the new online Academic Group!

The DSPT is host to a GTU-wide group for M.A. students who are interested in pursuing a PhD. The group was created to open up a discussion space for students who had questions about what to do to increase their chances of getting into a good PhD program. It is primarily based online, but also hosts social events and informational events, like the PhD Admissions Panel, during the year.

If you are at all interested, or just curious what it's all about, please join! I believe that this can be a good resource for students, especially once some of us actually begin the application process. If you've already joined and listed your preference to not receive email, check out the new items that have been posted!

Second, please take a moment to see if you would be able to bring something for a pastry Thursday this semester. Remember, you are only spending $35--which will be reimbursed by the Council! If you've been enjoying the pastries that have been brought in by other students, maybe you would consider signing up for a week to bring some yourself!

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Elissa McCormack
ASDSPT President
