[AHS-Grads] First Fall 2026 GSA Meeting

[Graciela Pacheco]

Hi everyone,
Hope you are having a great start to your Week 1 of Fall quarter! For those
of you who are new to the department: welcome! I am excited to be acting as
the Art History Graduate Student Association President (AHGSA) this
academic year. As such, I will be conducting our AHGSA meetings which are
scheduled twice a quarter. These meetings (in addition to being mandatory)
are an excellent opportunity to catch up with colleagues and to receive
updates on departmental affairs.

*Our first meeting in the Grad Office will take place in Week 2 (Oct. 5th -
9th) and the date/time will be determined based on the results of this
survey <https://www.when2meet.com/?38912482-XtXpF>.* Please fill out the
survey by the end of this week! If you are an incoming student, this
meeting will be particularly important as we will be assigning desks and
discussing nominations for the remaining AHGSA officer positions. I will
follow up with an email announcing out agreed meeting time by the end of
Week 1.

As a reminder, *it is expected we will all do our best to attend these
meetings!* They are crucial to the maintenance of our community and happen
to be pretty enjoyable as well. Think of these meet-ups as an opportunity
to relax and mingle with your fellow colleagues who understand exactly what
you're going through academically!

I expect this first meeting will mostly revolve around introductions and
getting the lay of the land for a new year. Please let me know if there is
anything else that you would like to discuss during our first meeting.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Best,

*Graciela Calderone Pacheco Van Den Eykel (she/her)*
