Symposium and BBQ

Hello students, post-docs, staff and faculty!

As you know, the end of the semester has been a flurry (thankfully not snow) of end of semester activities ranging from marking papers to staff appreciation day. As one last hurrah for an amazing 2009-2010 academic year, the annual biology graduate student symposium is this Monday, April 26th from 9am to 4.45pm in W4/12. Come see talks about everything from proteins on up to primates!

Following the symposium, the BGSA is holding a *BBQ & SOFTBALL GAME* that promises to be a fun filled way to welcome in the summer. The bbq will be from 5-7pm at the Reservoir field (McTavish & Dr Penfield), weather permitting. Otherwise, we'll set up fake sun and grass in the TH basement and try not to break anything with a round of indoor softball (kidding!). There will be free burgers (veggie too) and various other tasty goodies. Beer will be available for $1 so don't forget your loonies.

Everyone (that means YOU!) is invited to both the bbq and the symposium. For those who will be attending the very cool sounding Alma Howard lecture (4:15 pm in N2/2), you are also cordially invited to come to the reservoir post wine and cheese.

Bring your softball gloves and frisbees!

And... We need helpers! If you are able to help please send an email to kiyoko{.}gotanda{at}mail{.}mcgill{.}ca

Volunteers are needed mostly for set-up (around 4 pm) and clean up (around 7 pm), so please indicate which you can help with (or both!!). You will get a free burger (optional) and a big hug (not-optional).

Cheers

the BGSA
