Some students frequently miss mail due to inadequate systems.
This is unacceptable because graduate students are professionals. EGSA will issue a position statement to DGS's outlining best practices and expectations for graduate student mail distribution.

EGSA has a large enough budget that careful bookkeeping is warranted. Yogesh will see to this.
