If you are not getting the weekly announcements, they are posted here GSA Food Drive a Success!During the first week in December the GSA held a food drive at three of its larger events. Grads at the General Assembly meeting, Pizza Night, and Coffee Bagel Donut Day all donated nonperishable food and cash to the Food Bank of Yolo County. A few programs even had their own drives run by grad students. On that front special recognition needs to go out to the Comparative Pathology Department who gathered up four big boxes of food and a nice wad of cash for the food bank. All together the GSA drive collected 273 pounds of food and 113 dollars for the Food Bank. Since they are able to provide $11 dollars worth of food for every dollar donated, that makes the cash portion of our drive worth over $1200 to those in need in Yolo County. Thanks so much to everyone who helped make the drive a success! Sweet Deals from MicrosoftLooking for Office Ultimate for $60, check out our new page devoted to publicizing great buys for grads.

The group has three representatives at the GSA General Assembly: Alison McNally, Josh Perlman and Craig Beebe.
