Gym Fee Hike

Welcome to the new school year!
This is Samantha Lyon, the Campaign Coordinator at GSS.

GSS is working with the labor coalition to eliminate or lower the gym fee increase, which was
raised from $40/semester to $125/semester this year. This affects all
graduate students, staff and faculty ($150/semester for faculty/staff).

Please do not buy the gym membership in the meanwhile, as a
demonstration that we're committed to affordable rec facilities for
ALL grad students.

FYI, the gyms are free until the new rec center opens.
