So far this academic year, the GSA has been tremendously successful – a feat that is directly attributable to all of you that thanklessly donate your time and efforts to furthering the welfare
and success of our College of Graduate Studies. The triumphs that we have experienced within
the past and current year are as numerous as they are significant and I very much look forward
to working with you all as we continue to increase the recognition of the GSA and, more importantly, JCGS. I wish you all the best of luck in your studies and I hope each and every one
of you have a memorable holiday season. –Tara M. Robinson
