Notice of Referendum

The TST Graduate Students Association (TGSA) is holding a referendum this year on two questions. The first is a question of changes to the TGSA constitution. The second is about whether TST graduate students should migrate from membership in UTSU (University of Toronto Student Union) to UTGSU (University of Toronto Graduate Student Union, henceforth GSU).

A town hall meeting on these questions is scheduled for January 31, 3:30 – 5:30pm in Room 119 at Emmanuel College.

Please see our referendum page for more information.

There is space for a picnic dinners, and a licensed cafe (Boxcar Social) right beside the rink if we need a warm-up. Don’t have your own skates? No problem! Rentals are available at the rink! Further details, including rental prices, are available in our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/events/376460876136987/
