Update from May 2007

This is a standing committee of the GSS to organize and plan all the events (charitable, social, fun, PFF/PFP) of the academic year.  The past year was a great success with the harvest for hunger campaign and the grad night out at Jillians. Also, the spring semester was ended with a large BBQ sponsored by GSS with attendees in number potentially near 250. The committee meets irregularly as the members decide to plan and coordinate the events.  Profesional Devlopment was converted from it’s own committee to a subcommittee of activities, as outlined below.
