Update from the CFD Chair
Hello everyone and welcome to all the new students. We have had a busy start to term already with the Graduate Student Bootcamp and our annual CFD Welcome BBQ. Thank you to all who came out and supported both of these highly successful events. I am happy to report that this years winter formal will be held on November 30th in the Sandman Hotel downtown and tickets for the event will be just $25.
For the upcoming year, my goals as CFD chair are to improve mental health facilities and awareness at the Foothills campus which we are already working at behind the scenes. Much of this is occurring with our newly formed Mental Health and Wellness subcommittee which is chaired by Nancy Adam and the GSE (graduate science education) office, so watch this space for updates throughout the year. Additionally, I would like to improve the sense of community between all the graduate students at Foothills, so we will be hosting many more CFD coffee mornings. When you see them advertised come down grab some FREE coffee and snacks and maybe even meet some new people.
As always, we would love feedback on these events or suggestions for any other events so please email us at cfd@ucalgary.ca.
