Dear Graduate Student,
It's officially Fall 2024, and the Graduate Student Council (GSC) Executive Board is excited to welcome all new and returning graduate and professional students!
Welcome (back)! We wish you a great semester and academic year!
 
From now on, you will receive this newsletter every Tuesday (except when there is a university holiday on that Tuesday). As of now, some graduate and professional students may not yet be receiving this newsletter, so please forward it to anyone who might be interested in our events and other information. We thank you in advance!
You can also visit the GSC website (gsc.case.edu), follow us on Instagram at @cwrugsc, and contact us at gscinfo@case.edu for general information about the GSC, as well as to learn about future events and more.
