Lastly, Mr. Mahon was clear that the free modem pool will not be phased out in the next five years, though TigerLink is still the best option for those who wish to connect to MU services from their homes. Concerns were raised regarding the monthly charge for these services. Mr Mahon will join us again in March with more details on IATS budgeting and how we might better utilise graduate students' computing funds. We will vote on these applications at the next meeting. Dr. Eli Van Mil as well as successul grant recipients from several fields will speak and offer suggestions for successful grant writing.
More details are available on our website.
Please inform your department of this important event. Be sure that your DGS has informed your graduate students of the nominations process and that graduate students participate in this process. If you would like more details on the nominations process, feel free to e-mail us.
