AIGSA MIXER! Monday September 19 @ 6:30

A message from AIGSA Co-Chair Peter Nelson:
 
Hello,


The American Indian Graduate Student Association (AIGSA) 
is pleased to invite all of you to our Graduate Student Mixer. 
Anyone even if not a grad student is welcome to come. 
Please feel free to pass on the word to others
who you think would be interested or 
forward this email to other email lists.  



What: AIGSA Graduate Student Mixer FREE Food

Where: Room 554, Barrows Hall

When: Monday, 9/19/11, 6:30pm

Why: To network with and get to know other Native American graduate students

How: Email Peter Nelson (peteran@berkeley.edu) and/or just show up




The American Indian Graduate Student Association (AIGSA) 
is holding a mixer to highlight the work that our 
Native grad students do.  All grad and undergrad students, 
faculty, and friends are welcome to come.  We would like
to first and foremost facilitate networking on campus 
between Native grad students from various departments and 
get to know one another.  We would also like to provide 
an opportunity for others on campus to hear about the great work 
we are all doing, and promote interest in continuing education in
grad school to undergrads that attend.



This event will be as formal or casual as you feel comfortable with. 
That is to say there is no formal presentation required, 
but if you want to give one, please feel free. 
The first half of the event will feature introductions and/or 
presentations by graduate students wishing to shar
from 3 to 5 to 10 minutes in length and include anything 
about current or past work that you would
like to share.  This may include dissertation work, 
summer projects, past jobs, etc.  The second half of the event
will be a casual mixer with FREE food.  This is a good time to 
introduce yourself casually, talk to someone
whose presentation was inspiring or relevant 
to your own work, or just to get to know other Native grads better.
