The Graduate Students’ Union of Memorial University cordially invites you to submit a conference presentation at this year’s National Aldrich Interdisciplinary Conference.

This year’s conference will take place from March 2nd – 4th, 2012 and will feature academic presentations, professional development workshops, and a host of social activities. The conference aims to be truly interdisciplinary, featuring themes with prizes, professional development workshops, organized socials, and guest speakers - all paid for by your Graduate Student Union fees and a number of university sponsors!
Abstracts should be approximately 250 words in length, and should be in response to one of the three themes: Responding to Occupy Wall Street, The Possibilities of Pedagogy, and Testing the Boundaries of Methods & Methodology.

NOTICE: GSU Health and Dental Plan – Winter 2012 Semester Fees
Semester Fees Charges
Each semester, all full-time students are automatically charged the GSU health and dental fees. These fees are reversed for students who have opted out, generally by 5-6 weeks into a given semester (early February 2012, for the Winter semester). If you have previously opted out, or are planning to opt out in the Winter semester, you will initially see the charges on your account. You can ignore them and pay the remainder of your semester fees, or the cashier's office will refund them to you after this date in case you've already paid them.
Please note that as long as your student status doesn't change (you remain a full-time student), you only need to opt-out once during your program (unless you go from part-time to full-time, take a leave of absence, etc.).
The health and dental opt-out/opt-in deadline for the Winter 2012 semester is January 26th, 2012. Please see the link (Health and Dental Forms) on the top right hand-side (Popular Articles)
