Let’s start the year out right with our annual fall wine & cheese.  Join us at the Croft Chapter House (15 King’s College Circle) for food and drinks between 4:30 – 6:30 on September 13^th.  As always, we greatly welcome any contribution to the refreshments, and are happy to reimburse you for the cost of ingredients.  If you have any dietary restrictions or need further accommodations please contact Sara at sara.rhodes@mail.utoronto.ca.

The wine & cheese is also when we announce the AGSU executive for 2013-14.  We are currently looking for the following positions: secretary, treasurer, GSU reps, CUPE reps, Medusa coordinators, vis-a-vis lead editor, vis-a-vis editors, computer coordinator, communications coordinator, and members-at-large.  Joining the executive is a great way to get involved with the department, meet other grad students, and build your CV.  If you are interested in any of the above roles, please contact Steven and Emma at least 24 hours before the wine & cheese.

We look forward to seeing everyone!

PS. The department is working on updating the anthropology site, and will have a photographer at this event to get some shots of faculty, staff, and students.  If you have any questions or concerns about this matter, please contact kristy.bard@utoronto.ca.
