Hi AI Grads, The AI Graduate Student Association (AIGSA) is a new club whose goal is to build community among AI Graduate students through fun networking and professional development events. However, before we can start planning these events, we need *members* and *officers*. *Become a Member:* Funding for AIGSA is provided by the University, so becoming a member is free. Since AIGSA is a new club, it's important that you sign up <https://apps.ideal-logic.com/osusli?key=F3T9-25VWY_5878-CZ4R_f7b06f23> as a member if you are interested in taking part in future AIGSA events: funding is based on our membership count and we want to make sure that events have the capacity to include everyone who wants to participate. Once you sign up, you can also join us on our dedicated Slack workspace <http://eecs-aigsa.slack.com>. *Nominate Officers:* In order to plan events for next year, we also need officers. AIGSA has four officer positions: Co-Presidents (currently Matthew Olson and Christopher Buss), Secretary of Communication and Events, Secretary of Finances (currently Anurag Koul), and Secretary of Faculty Relations. You can learn more about each of the positions as well as submit nominations for them by checking out the individual nomination forms: - Co-Presidents Nomination Form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdzG0-J25ttH69P0gTolcSIc1KpQfiGnFZcFjITMWyt-oaUhA/viewform?usp=sf_link> - Secretary of Communication and Events Nomination Form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSQS3mK1XQpUGb7ZfDPUmCubaYdEs1YTuOCFGlYgqDkIoWTg/viewform?usp=sf_link> - Secretary of Finances Nomination Form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSckvYMS2U_LRLV1pZhpDOTIVuV_61aF7GTnVyv6PnNTCZwbkQ/viewform?usp=sf_link> - Secretary of Faculty Relations Nomination Form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfdSnNMrEdOtnGhWjg8PjcCDaMTWiKa9OYutiCMgEowDA4IYQ/viewform?usp=sf_link> Feel free to submit multiple forms if you want to nominate multiple people. *The deadline for nominations is May 25th.* We hope to see you at future AIGSA events!
