GPSC Roundtable with Pres. Shelton

This is a great chance for Graduate Assistants in Teaching to get involved.
If your department or program is not participating, ask your representatives why not.
We here at Sallygradstudent highly suggest that you prioritize and bring a list of the things you feel are most important to graduate students and what you are and are not willing to sacrifice (ie. class sizes, benefits, work hours, classroom technology, travel and professional development support, quality faculty, reasonable pay, adequate facilities, access to library materials, etc.)

President Robert N. Shelton and Graduate Teaching Assistants
Chair: Stephen W. Bieda III, Graduate & Professional Student Body President
Date: Wednesday, November 19
Time: 4:45 p.m. - 5:45 p.m.
Location: ADMIN 712, Regent's Room
Dress: Business Casual

There will be 15 participants for the roundtable discussion, with the focus being specifically on GTA workloads/class sizes & the UATransformation. There is room for up to 5 more people to attend, but only the participants will be allowed to speak. Please note that all participants MUST arrive at 4:45 pm SHARP. The building doors automatically look at 5 pm, and no one will be available to let you in. The format of the discussion will include opening remarks from each of the participants (not to exceed 1 minute), closing remarks (not to exceed 1 minute) and free flowing discussion (30 minutes). Please feel free to e-mail Stephen Bieda III with your thoughts, concerns or recommendations about the format and my office & he will be more than happy to accommodate.
