Ombudspersons visit next GSS general Meeting
Lehigh's two new ombudspersons will speak at the next general GSS meeting (Feb 13) about their role at Lehigh. As confidential and informal conflict resolution resources, they are a good resource if you find yourself in a vulnerable situation (for example, with one's advisor).
The Next Meeting...
A fairly comprehensive calendar of grad events, including GSS meetings, can be found under the Events Calendar link on the right. The schedule for some upcoming GSS meetings (always at noon) will be as follows:
- Wed, August 27: Maginnes 111
