Hi Everyone,
I trust your academic year has been up to a promising start. Here are a couple of reminders about TGSA’s two upcoming events, both happening on Thursday September 12, at 1pm and at 4pm, respectively. Remember to RSVP for the SSHRC workshop. See attached flyers for more details:
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! Learn valuable tips on writing successful grant proposal and hear from past SSHRC recipients about their experiences.

This is a reminder that our AGM will be held tomorrow, May 31, from 12pm – 1pm, via Zoom. Please see our “A Year in Review” report attached.
The AGM format will be a Q&A/suggestion period for students. You may ask questions for TGSA based on the “A Year in Review” and/or offer suggestions for next year’s TGSA’s Board (i.e., workshop/event ideas, student issues you’d like brought up at Academic Council or Graduate Studies Council, conference theme ideas and so forth).
