After posting the vacant EGSA positions all week, here are the last 3!
1) Are you interested in a career in academia? Being the Department rep. could give you a taste of how departments function! 🗓
2) Are you an MA student? Always looking out for your peers? MA rep. might be the position for you! 👨🏻‍🎓
3) Are you a PhD student? Looking to connect with current and future doctoral candidates? Maybe the PhD rep. position would be ideal for you! 👩🏾‍🎓

Just a reminder that the EGSA is seeking interest for the 2023-2034 academic year until THIS SUNDAY, SEPT. 17, and voting will start on Monday, Sept. 18. Looking forward to seeing some new faces and enthusiasm on this year's executive! 😎
