Book Sale!
GSAC has been collecting unwanted soc-related textbooks in order to sell them to raise money for fun activities for grad students. We realized there may be some that you are interested in buying them, so we will be holding a book sale on Wednesday, October 28 and Thursday, October 29 from 3-5pm both days, in 69 CAB. Instead of paying full price, donate what you can for the grad student funds.
