Fellow students,

Please note that the Graduate Student Association office will be closed until Monday due both to the University closing today and concerns for the safety and well-being of our staff members who are currently snowed in. We will reassess the situation over the weekend as needed and keep you updated on any more delays or closings for the office should they be deemed necessary.

We understand that our closing has been inconvenient to many of you, but your officers continue to remain reachable via email. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at gsa-president@buffalo.edu. I will answer as I am able.

Thank you for all your love and support at this time. Please keep yourselves safe and warm, and we hope to see you next week.

-President Gorman

Please note that the GSA office will be closed on Thursday, November 13th. Please make sure to plan accordingly for any club events that will be taking place on that date.

Also, please note that the GSA South Campus Satellite Office will be closed on Tuesday, November 25th.

Thank you for your attention in this matter, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Check out some of the great events GSA has to offer this month!

Attached is an exciting opportunity for graduate students to potentially publish in an upcoming book, Graduate study in the USA: Surviving and succeeding. This will be an edited book written for prospective and current graduate students by a mix of graduate students and those who have recently completed their studies. The premise is simple: if you could go back in time and talk with yourself when you began your studies, what advice would you give? Isn’t hindsight a bonus? If only I knew then what I know now! Abstracts are now being accepted.

We are researchers at the ISE department at University at Buffalo who are working on understanding the diffusion of health habits and health-related behaviors through large social networks.

The survey takes approximately 15 minutes of your time and you will largely help us collect valuable data for the study.
Please follow the link below to the survey:

Your input is very important to us and will be kept strictly confidential and used only for the purposes of research for this project.

This study has been reviewed and approved by SUNY University at Buffalo Social and Behavioral Sciences IRB (SBSIRB). For more information, please contact mghesmat@buffalo.edu
Thank you!
