Spend a day mentoring new students (free dinner)
The Centre for New Students runs the “Pursuit Project” which connects new students with existing faculty and students. Could you volunteer to join first-generation students (whose parents did not attend college or university) for dinner and share your wisdom? If so, contact Thomas Malcolmson (tmalcolm@uoguelph.ca)!
When: Monday, November 14th, 5:30PM-7:00PM
Where: University Club (I think that’s the 5th floor of the UC :)
Food? Yes!
Study groups
The library has launched https://studygroups.lib.uoguelph.ca, which aims to help you find others to study with and perhaps improve your understanding of your course. Don’t spend all your time chatting, though.
Google Calendar?
Would you be interested in being able to subscribe to a Google Calendar (usable from Outlook and Mail, too) that advertised these events, rather than parsing e-mails all the time? If so, let us know, and maybe Richard will create one. :)
