Weekly GSAC Social Event at Seven Saints!

A lot of grad students in our department have lamented the lack of social events to bring everyone together to talk about classes, dissertations, or just to blow off steam, so GSAC (along with the first year cohort) has decided to fix that situation.

Come out Thursday nights at 8:00 pm to Esquire Seven Saints to meet and hang out with fellow grad students. This will be a weekly event so if you can't make it one week, no worries.

The first gathering will be tonight, so we hope to see you there!

**Edit: The grad student Thursday night events will be taking place at Seven Saints.
