Ever wondered about Graduate School? Don’t know where to start or how to apply?

Dr. Dave Mumby, a professor in the Psychology department at Concordia University, will be speaking about proper preparation and application to graduate schools, and will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

He has been providing academic and career counseling to undergraduate students in the sciences, social sciences, and fine arts, for nearly 20 years. He blogs regularly on topics related to proper preparation and successful application to graduate school, and he recently published the 2nd edition of his comprehensive guide, Graduate School: Winning Strategies for Getting In.

Spaces are limited, so make sure you reserve your spot now!

At the SGM the SFSS will be addressing the demand from SASS and Departmental Student Unions to create Faculty Student Unions through by-law changes. We’re also hoping to amend their own by-laws following recommendations from our legal advisor.

To motivate the undergraduate student body to attend the SGM, the SFSS is giving out a total of $1500 in prizes and will provide food and drinks! We need 250 people for quorum , so be sure to bring your friends!!!

This meeting is VERY important to SASS, as it will mean we will be formally recognized in SFSS Bylaw!!

See you there!’

YOU study history, economics, politics, linguistics, and criminology. You are part of FASS, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. You love your classes, and you love that Prof with the tattoos and the fedora and who has a hilariously bizarre sense of humour. Most of all, you love that your classmates actually give a crap.

WE are the same as you. We’re SASS, the Society of Arts and Social Sciences, and we give a crap. What else do we do (besides caring so darn hard)? Lots of things:

  • We’re a platform for different FASS departments to share ideas and build relationships between their students and between like-minded faculties at schools across the country.
  • We represent and advocate for the diverse needs and interests of FASS students to the Faculty Administration and Government, and to the Simon Fraser Student Society.
  • We’re always working to build the FASS community, by encouraging communication and debate, and the exchange of experiences and skills.
  • We plan events like our annual SASS Frosh, the SASS Arts Week, and all those SASS socials that your friends have been talking about.
  • We host career fairs, charity fairs, graduate school fairs, and other fairs that we haven’t even thought of yet (don’t worry, we’re not carnies, we just like fairs).
  • We organize academic events such as Meet the Dean, guest speaker lectures, and workshops for various skills training.

 

So, what else do we do? That’s up to you. After all, you’re one of us.

SASS: The Society of Arts and Social Sciences.
