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.
