Our DNS booth at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair! Our kid-friendly activities were a hit! Thanks to Stephanie Nishi for organizing our volunteer team!

A fantastic Edna Park Lecture tonight delivered by Dr. Cutberto Garza from Boston College. The lecture was preceded by an awesome Meet-and-Greet, where Dr. Garza talked about career-searching; about pursuing a passion that is not only realistic but a passion that allows you to have the largest impact on the world in your capacity. We discussed the definition of success and the importance of life-balance. Lots of food for thought, and a final vote of confidence from Dr. Garza that Nutrition is a good field to be in. That hour really flew by.

An early heads-up for Dec. 13, 2013:

2:00 PM - Farewell Party for Vijay and Lucile (FG 423)

6:00 PM till midnight - Annual DNS Holiday Party (stay-tuned for ticket sales!)

The NSGSA is happy to be participating in the Royal Winter Fair again this year. The fair runs from Nov. 1 - 10, and it looks like a lot of fun! Check it out if you have a chance, and thanks to everyone who has signed up to volunteer.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Lucile's Surprise Retirement-Potluck!

Don't forget to bring some change for the Coffee Break before seminar tomorrow! Donations will go towards supporting the Alzheimer Society. Also, if you've never had any of Maria's baked goods you're in for a treat!

Thanks for coming out to the Welcome Pub Night! It was a good evening of ice-breaker bingo extravaganza, heated trivia, food and drinks.

Our Health and Dental insurance plan has changed! UTGSU has partnered with studentcare.net/works to provide us with better benefits for the same price. For more info, check out the GSU website.

Also, there is a Stand Up for Science Rally on Sept. 16, 11:45 AM - 1 PM in front of the legislature on the South end of Queen's Park. Join in with a labcoat if you're interested!

A big welcome to all the new graduate students! Hope to see everyone at the Welcome Pub Night on Thursday, September 12th at 5 PM (right after the first seminar). FREE FOOD and games!
