Your GSA leadership for this year is composed of Adam Hobbs (President), Deren Onursal (Vice President), Rudra Guha Biswas (Secretary), and Tommy Kegler (GSA Rep). We want to thank the outgoing GSA for their work last year and for beginning many important conversations within the department related to department culture.<br><br>As the year starts we want to outline some of our goals. Our primary focus for the year is going to be on communication and on community. In this regard, we are working towards creating a more cordial, cooperative, and compassionate environment within the department. While we are still finalizing all our deliverables for the quarter, we hope to host more student events, create opportunities for pedagogical discussions, and provide clarity as to how the GSA can assist students in the department. If you have any comments or ideas for what you would like to see in the department please let us know here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfVCX8TE0LAhvFWKVYmm9B5NWO6dhzwTHctg8HK0zA6V_jOJg/viewform?usp=pp_url" target="_blank">GSA Graduate Student Department Survey.</a><br><br>In the spirit of community, we have a couple introductory events planned that we want to get on your schedule.
