A few changes that the GSA has made this semester:
(1) GSA Travel Grant Awards In addition to those who present papers or posters, the $400 annual GSA travel grant awards will now be eligible to students who travel to academic conferences for the purposes of job interviews. Supporting documentation is required. This change takes effect retroactively to include any interview in the 2007-08 academic year. For more information, see
here .
(2) GSA Council Meeting Schedule GSA Council meetings have always have been open to all Fordham GSAS graduate students; however, because of varying schedules of the meetings, students often did not know the dates and locations of GSA Council meetings. To address this, we have instituted regularly scheduled Council meetings. The schedule for the Spring semester is:
Mon. Feb. 25 - 11:30 - 12:45
Mon. Mar. 10 – 12:30 - 1:45
Mon. Mar. 31 – 11:30 - 12:45
Mon. Apr. 14 – 12:30 - 1:30
Mon. May 5 – 11:30 - 12:45 Meeting will be held in Keating 124.
All graduate students are encouraged to attend. If you would like a copy of the agenda, please email the GSA Vice President Gary Gabor at
gsa@fordham.edu the preceding Friday.
