Welcome Back Lunch Socials

TGSA invites you to our Welcome Back Lunch Socials, a perfect opportunity to reconnect with friends and meet new faces. Whether you’re just starting your academic journey or continuing, these socials are a great way to build community, share experiences, and enjoy some delicious food. We’re excited to begin this year together and look forward to seeing you there!

SSHRC Grant Writing Workshop

Join us for an insightful SSHRC Grant Writing Workshop tailored for theology graduate students!
