[La-cgs] Fall meeting of the LA Council of Graduate Schools - November 3?

[B. Ramu Ramachandran]

Obadiah: We will add /Increasing Graduate Student Enrollment/ to the list.

In response to Mary's suggestion, here are some possible dates for 
Spring (taking into account what I know about Tech's calendar). I assume 
we will meet after the CSGS meeting (March 13-15) in Greenville, SC. 
With any luck, Mary will be able to off-load the Presidency on someone 
else 😉. So, keeping with our tradition of starting on a Thursday at 
noon and ending on Friday around noon, and accounting for Easter, we can 
consider:

March 21-22
April 4-5
April 11-12
April 18-19

Please indicate your availability here: 
https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/aO819PRb. Only the first date 
in each pair is shown in the poll. We all know that things will come up 
and our availability will change, so we will treat this poll as very 
preliminary.

Best regards,
Ramu
