In September, Reps are also expected to review and vote on proposed GSC Constitution and Bylaws changes. A draft of the proposed changes was sent to each school council president to be reviewed with their representatives and executive board members (if you are a representative and did not receive this email, please reach out to gscinfo@case.edu).

Please note that every GA meeting after this first one in September is scheduled for the first Monday of each month, 5:30-6:30pm. Dates for the Fall semester are October 7, November 4, and December 2.

Please RSVP either in person or virtually so we have enough food for all students coming in person: https://cglink.me/2cS/r2257564
