[GSAUCR] Fwd: UCSA Congress at UC Riverside

[GSA President]

> 
> Hello Graduate Students,
> 
> For the first time in its history, UC Riverside will be hosting the UCSA Student Congress this summer from August 18-21, 2011.  This conference brings together undergraduate and graduate students from all 10 UC campuses for a conference of workshops, panels, and most importantly, the opportunity to help choose which issue will be undertaken by UCSA in the 2011-2012 school year.  This past year, UCSA worked on the Graduate Student Bill of Rights, a document that provides fair living conditions and equitable working standards for all UC graduate students.  With UC Regents recently voting to increase student tuition by 9.6%, it is imperative that students take a stand and fight for a quality UC education.
> 
> With the conference taking place on our campus, current UCR students can attend for a deeply discounted rate.  In addition, UCR GSA will look to help offset the cost for students attending.  With that said, what you will pay out of pocket for a 4 day conference (including all materials and meals) will be around $40 (final figure will be determined at a later date.
> 
> If you are interested in attending, please e-mail Adam Jackson-Boothby, GSA Executive Vice President, at aboot002 at ucr.edu indicating your interest.  Please e-mail your intent ASAP, but no later than July 25, 2011.  In addition, please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions you may have.
> 
> Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you at UCSA Congress this summer!!

> Thanks,
> Adam
