[La-cgs] La Council of Graduate Schools - April Meeting

[Ramu Ramachandran]

All:

I echo Mary's comments. Regarding the long list of graduate school 
processes and business practices in my draft agenda, Sanjay mentioned 
that we may cover some of those during periodic lunch meetings (virtual) 
where we get the staff together. So item 2 could be just an overview of 
what we plan to cover, and an opportunity to solicit additional topics 
from our staff.

We got started on our 3MT competitions too late to send a winner to CSGS 
(nomination deadline is today!) but we are advertising that the winner 
will be able to compete at the LA-CGS meeting. So, let us be sure to 
hold the 3MT competition!
