GSWOC International Student Committee email back up

Jun 24, 2022

Hi all,

Hope you are having a great summer. It is exciting that GSWOC is hosting a town hall next week. Some of us thinks that it is a good idea to host one specifically about issues of international students. Let us meet in two weeks for next international students committee meeting and figure out a plan. We can also discuss about the experiences and difficulties we had when organizing international students. Please fill out the when2meet so that we can find a time that works for the most people. Looking forward to see you all.

Hi all,

Here is a summary of the international student committee meeting last Wednesday.:

1. We decided to do an international student town hall the first Week of August, tentatively August 3rd at 3:00, and the second choice is August 4th at 12:00. It will be hybrid (both zoom and in person).
2. We set a turnout goal of 50 people for the town hall.
3. We’re working on finding 3 - 5 grad student workers to be panelists for the town hall, including 1 - 2 from other Universities that have unionized. Let me know if you are interested!
4. We decided that we would first announce the town hall by email and WeChat 2 weeks ahead of time, with additional reminders afterwards. We also decided that we would do some phone banking to increase turnout. We also need folks to help spread the word during walkthroughs.
5. We’ll be meeting again Wednesday, July 20 at 3 pm to continue planning our town hall.

Best,

B

Hey everyone,

M was able to reserve SGM 226 for the town hall!

Email should probably go out Monday to announce - could someone add the WeChat info, assuming we still want to include that?

Cheers, Rob
