Hello A&S graduate students, our first meeting of the semester is tonight (9/12), at 6pm over Zoom. The Zoom link was sent out in the agenda last Friday (9/9). We will be hearing from the OGS about reviving the Graduate Research Symposium, as well as discussing general plans for the semester.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the social at Precarious on Friday, it was great to see so many people active in the graduate student community. Look forward to seeing everyone again at Journal Club (starting this Thursday, 9/15, see the email from this morning) and at other socials during the semester.

The last representative we have to feature this year is Victoria Chentsova, from Psychological Sciences.

Hi everyone! My name is Victoria Chentsova and I am a first year working with Dr. Adrian Bravo in the Psychological Sciences Masters program. I am originally from Saipan, CNMI and did a double BA in Psychology and Philosophy at Williams College in Williamstown, MA (gotta love that William!). When I am not nerding out over psychology research, I like to spend time with local mutual aid and community building organizations, explore the outdoors (preferably by the ocean but time in the woods or in the mountains hits the spot too!), and go on miscellaneous adventures with friends (from a cozy movie night in, to a road trip and a night out in a new city, it's hard for me to say no to adventure!). I am a big extrovert and love meeting new people so don't hesitate to say Hi!

Hello A&S Graduate Students, this week the GSA is featuring the Graduate Studies Advisory Board Representative for the Arts, Alexandra Macdonald.

Hi! I am a 5th year PhD candidate in the History Department working on my dissertation which looks at material objects to explore ideas of time and temporality in the long 18th century. I am originally from Vancouver and when I’m not poking around archives and museums I, super stereotypically, love to knit, hike, swim in the Atlantic, and try as many new food trucks as I can. I am currently the Arts rep for the Graduate Studies Advisory Board and I sit on the Graduate Advisory Committee for the Dean of Arts & Sciences. I don’t have Facebook, but I would love to hear from you on Twitter () or Instagram () or via email ([email protected]) if you have any thoughts or concerns you would like brought to either board.
