Student Life Catalyst Awards

If you're graduating in June 2015 and feel you have made a positive difference to the student life experience here in our department, apply for a Student Life Catalyst Award.

Safety Training

The safety training for 2015 summer students are as follows:

Part I:  In-Person Training, May 5, 2015, WB-116, from 9:30-11:30am

Part II:  On-line, to be completed prior to the In-Person Exam

Part III:  In-Person Examination, May 11, 2015, WB-116, 10:00-10:30am

As per University and departmental guidelines, we are required to provide training to all personnel. If you have hired a summer student, please inform them of the date, time and location of the training program. It would be helpful if you could provide names of any summer students to Leticia Gutierrez for attendance and handouts purposes.

Students from our department that have completed their fourth year, AND ARE CONTINUING INTO GRADUATE SCHOOL in our department, do not have to attend this training session (their training for fourth year thesis will suffice). They need to attend the CHE2222F in September.

The training is compulsory for all other summer students/personnel, including those in volunteer positions and on co-op placements.

CEGSA Ping Pong Tournament: There's Still Time to Register!

Do you take a break from research and work by playing a game of ping pong with your friends in the common room? Do you want an opportunity to show off your table tennis skills and have your name forever engraved in the common room?

Well, then CEGSA's annual Table Tennis tournament is for you! The tournament will take place on May 7, 2015 at 4:30pm in the Grad Common room (WB 247). Pizza will be provided for those participating. To sign up, please email Sam Huang by 4:30pm on May 6, 2015.

Winners will be glorified by having their name engraved on the champion plaque in the common room. So be sure to bring your A game and leave no mercy on the table.

CEGSA Fundraiser

On April 25, 2015 a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck near Kathmandu, Nepal and resulted in widespread devastation. The Canadian Red Cross is collecting funds to support their assistance in helping those affected by the earthquake. All eligible donations to the Red Cross by May 25, 2015 will be matched by the Canadian government.

At this Friday's Fika, we hope you can help CEGSA raise funds by buying a flower from Snow's Victory Florists, 280 College Street, Toronto (http://snowsvictoryflorist.com/). A suggested donation for a flower is $2. You can then spread the love even more by using it as a gift for Mother's Day this Sunday or for another significant other. Hope you can help those in need in Nepal and join CEGSA's Nepal Region Earthquake Flower Sale Fund.
