Chritmas Partay!!

Hey there grads!

Now that classes are winding down we thought it a good idea to remind you about our annual Christmas party! This year it will be taking place at the Blind Duck Pub on December 8th (This Friday!) starting at 5pm. There will be plenty of activities this year including a Gingerbread house decorating competition, poker tables, a DJ and a charity raffle. Did I also mention there is a free dinner and 2 drink tickets! Entrance is $5 for grad students and postdocs, $10 for guests OR free entry with the donation of a food item.

We hope to see you all there! It’s sure to be a fun time!Christmas poster
