Assembly,

1) Dean Russel is our guest for next week's meeting. Does anyone have
anything in particular that you would like him to address? I'm sure
he'll give us a brief "state of the GS" talk, but I want to make sure he
addresses any specific issues we had for him. Please email me by Friday.

2) Mentoring opportunity

At the Graduate and Professional fair, Dan Raburn and Karin Sigloch
gathered some names of undergraduates who were interested in graduate
studies. Are there any graduate students who would be willing to meet
with them to give them some mentoring/advice on what graduate studies is
all about in your field? This should just be a one-time thing. If you or
your constituents are interested in participating in this, please email
me by Friday

The fields that students were interested in were: English Mechanical and
Aerospace Engineering Civil and Environmental Engineering Philosophy
Economics Operations Research and Financial Engineering Religion
Politics Physics East Asian Studies

3) Sustainability project

Following up Shana Weber's visit to our meeting, would anyone like to
help come up with a "10 things a graduate student can do" list for
sustainable practices at Princeton? We already have some ideas from the
Sustainability Committee, it just requires some fact-checking with
Facilities, a nice design, and some ideas for publicity. If you or your
constituents are interested, please email me.

4) Alumni mixers

The APGA and our GSG Academic Affairs committee is planning on
organizing alumni mixers this year. They are still in the beginning
stages, but I think they are hoping to do the Humanities and Social
Sciences divisions this year -- if you or your constituents are
interested in helping out (it would be a great opportunity to network
with alumni in your field), please email me.

5) Civic Engagement opportunity

The Pace Center asked me to publicize the following opportunity: The
Pace Council for Civic Values (PCCV), a new, selective student group
affiliated with the Pace Center at Princeton University, is comprised of
students who promote greater civic awareness and action within the
University. We are seeking the help of new members in continuing our
mission to improve the quality and quantity of student participation in
civic engagement. This opportunity is open to all undergraduate and
graduate students. For more information & application visit:

4th.
