Postgraduate Assembly (PGA)
Find out about how postgraduates can easily get involved with the student union - this term on Monday of 3rd Week, 26th October at 6pm in the University Club, Mansfield Road
Chaired by OUSU's VP Graduates, Sarah Hutchinson, PGA is an assembly open to all postgraduate students. Any postgrad can propose a motion to be passed at the assembly about any aspect of postgraduate life - academic affairs, access, welfare, environmental concerns, charities etc etc. If these motions are passed, they then go to be ratified by OUSU Council. If you're thinking of proposing a motion then do get in touch with Karen Irving for more information.
PGA is relatively informal and relaxed. All postgraduate students are very welcome and are all able to vote, so do come along. PGA takes place once a term.
To propose a motion, you need to write it and send it to Karen Irving, OUSU Democratic Support Officer at enquiries@ousu.org. The deadline for motions is 14th May 2009, Thursday of third week at 12pm. Examples of how to structure a motion can be found in PGA agendas or in OUSU Council agendas (just replace Council with Assembly).
