It may be mid-sem break, but as we all know, there's no rest for postgrads!

P.S. If you're not a member at the OGH bar, no worries! Just seek out one of our committee members when you arrive to get signed in. Non-members can also buy non-alcoholic beverages without needing to sign in 😌

Join us to hit the books (or the writing, or marking, or researching...) this week at PGSA Study Session!

We'll supply the snacks and fire up the nespresso machine so you can enjoy a productive afternoon 🤓☕ All postgrads welcome and no registration required!

Also a good opportunity to collect the PGSA 2023 sticker for your Campus Card if you haven't already 🫶
