SCAtharsis AGM + Summer Soiree

Annual General Meeting was held at 5pm on Friday March 18th in the Pierre Gorman Room, 1888 Building. Afterwards the SCAtharsis Summer Soiree slid into being around 6pm at the Prince Alfred (pub on Gratton St).

Following this AGM, the soiree at the Prince Alfred directly across the road from the 1888 building. This was a friendly informal chance to catch up and enjoy the social side (much neglected!) of being a postgrad student.

SCAtharsis AGM 2004

Our last social gathering was after 'Contexts' of course but before then we had a big bash at the beginning of the year to welcome the new postgrads and get attendance to our meeting! Here are some pics from the first part of the night's festivities in the SCAtharsis room in 303A, SCA:

Helpful Hint #2:
As a postgrad at the SCA you are allocated online hosting of a personalised webpage. This is intended as a one-page overview of your academic profile and can be easily stored in your personal folder on the School's server for uploading by the IT Co-orindator. Such a page on the university web is an excellent way for people who search the web for you or on topics you are researching to find your page, it offers a great opportunity for making yourself known, and faciliates feedback from interested parties. See Dennis Claringbold for details on how to set this up: 8344-8384, Rm: A220, d.claringbold@unimelb.edu.au

Helpful Hint #1:
Did you know that as a MCA and PhD researcher you are allocated $300 and $500 respectively every year for buying books, conference fees, purchasing art materials, whatever?! Ask your supervisor for details.
