Official Activities
Brown Bag Lunches - This is a series of
speakers that are arranged by the Brown Bag committee. Speakers are usually
Agricultural Economics faculty, staff, current students, or recent graduates
of the department. Topics are diverse, but tend to center on informal
presentation of research proposals or results or on developing trends in
industry or agriculture.
Cook Co-op - The Cook Co-op has
a variety of snacks and microwave meals for those days that students are
working late or need a quick pick-me-up. There is a $5/semester fee
to support the co-op's bulk purchases. This small fee keep prices lower
than snack machines and provides a better selection of such items for co-op
members. Dues should be paid to the current GSO treasurer.
Annual Fall Gathering - This is GSO's biggest single event. Each fall a
department wide social gathering is organized at a local park or the home of a
faculty member. The GSO provides all
coordination, set-up, take-down, and clean-up for the event. All faculty,
graduate students and their families are invited to attend.
Bagel social (student-faculty coffees) - Occasional. Graduate students, faculty and
staff join together for coffee, bagels and conversation. Cost is $1.50
for coffee, bagel, and cream cheese.
Happy hour - The last Friday of every month the GSO invites faculty and
graduate students to meet at a local bar to reflect on the activities of the
past month.
