new executive; new office manager; new social plans
i haven't been minding this blog lately. but with the crazyness of the end of semester over, and the changing of the guard at the GSS under control, i should be posting more regularly.
the new GSS executive takes over starting tomorrow. that consists of me (uri strauss) as president, anil duman as vice president, ahmed hassan as treasurer, and arnold ssali as executive officer. we look forward to imposing a reign of terror on the graduate students at umass. in the last year, we chastised you with whips. this year, we shall chastise you with scorpions.
we also hired a new office manager, who is a veteran of the GSS - daniel koroma. we look forward to a productive year of working with daniel and our other new staff, to be hired soon.
the GSS social committee, which wasn't able to meet so regularly since its formation in the spring semester, has been meeting regularly this summer. last week we had our first event of the summer - a graduate student get-together at the harp - a pub in north amherst with a nice patio, were we hung out. it as nice, but we need a better turnout than just 7-8 people. we're going again this friday at 5 pm (meet on the patio), and hopefully every friday this summer. we're also planning a BBQ on june 26 - stay tuned for details.
