UTM's Association of Graduate Students

Hi grads,

Our agenda for the year (which includes a calendar of our planned events and a short summary of some of our ongoing initiatives) can be found here.

Please fill out this survey to give us your feedback on this agenda, our planned calendar and UTMAGS in general. The survey is only a page long and shouldn’t take more than 5-10 mins to complete.

The more folks we hear back from, the better we’ll be able to understand how we can help the grad community best!

Thanks,

The UTMAGS Team

Hi grads! Our AGM for this new year is almost upon us! Join us on June 28th at the grad lounge to voice your thoughts on how we can be most useful to the grad community, and to have some free pizza. All grads and post-docs welcome!

Join us tomorrow (2nd May) in the IB atrium at 4:00 pm for poster presentations at the UTM Graduate Research colloquium, and at 5:45 pm for our guest speaker Rumeet Billan (description on the card below).

Hope to see you there!

Hi UTM Grads,

A reminder that our annual Graduate Research Colloquium is fast approaching. This year, the GRC will be on May 2nd and May 3rd.

The UTM Graduate Research Colloquium aims to highlight graduate student research across our campus. This special two-day event will provide the opportunity for graduate students to showcase their work to fellow graduate students, post-docs, and faculty from all graduate departments. The Colloquium will also provide a fantastic opportunity to learn about the most exciting graduate research taking place at UTM. This event is also open to St. George students that have a supervisor who has a continuing appointment at UTM.

The GRC includes poster (May 2nd) and oral presentations (May 3rd). If you want to sign up for a poster or an oral presentation, the deadline to do so is 5:00 pm on Wednesday, 19th April. You can register here.

You can register to attend the GRC (without any presentations) here.

Please spread the word! Thanks for helping us celebrate graduate research at UTM.

This will be 5:00 to 7:30 pm next Wednesday in the Grad Lounge (DV2068B). Hope to see you there and let us know if you have any questions!
