DGSociety: A Student Group for DGS Students

The purpose of this student group is, to paraphrase its mission statement, to provide DGS students with an opportunity to interact with other DGS students while providing with one another assistance in this process. In the past we've put on events that allow students to hear about others' experiences in getting to their majors. Former DGS students work with current ones, so freshmen & sophomores have the opportunity to gain from membership now, then give back later. DGSociety is also a great way to be in on the formation of a group, and influence its direction, create new traditions, and engage in some real teamwork and LEADERSHIP. The next meeting - intended to explain the goals of the group and solicit ideas - is scheduled for Nov 15 at 3PM in Gregory Hall room 311. We have a flyer. You are very welcome to attend, to listen, to speak up, and to lead.
