Hello Grad Students!

It is always astounding just how quickly the summer seems to pass! Our 
annual SSSP conference is just around the corner.  We would just like to take 
a moment to remind you of a few of the opportunities that SSSP offers to its 
graduate students. 

The new member’s breakfast will be held on Friday August 19 at 7:15am. This 
is immediately followed by the Graduate student meeting which will give all 
graduate student members a voice and space to be heard and taken seriously. 
We hope that all graduate student members will take advantage of this time 
and join us. The graduate student social is another space to connect with 
fellow graduate student members. This will be held Friday August 19th at 
10pm. SSSP has generously provided us with $750 towards the cost of food 
and drinks. There are additional networking opportunities in the welcoming 
reception and the division-sponsored reception so be sure to keep your eyes 
open for dates and times. Please consult the online program for additional 
details and locations.

We are very excited about this year’s conference and hope that we have a 
chance to meet all of you. We really can’t stress enough the value of 
participation. Should you be seeking a way to become more involved within 
SSSP or simply wish to be present and listen to the goings on of student life 
within the conference, we encourage you to come! SSSP takes the voice of 
its graduate student body very seriously and so this is a fantastic opportunity 
to make sure that yours is heard. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any 
reason!!

All the best!!
