The GSA is happy to announce the creation of a GSAS Student Association blackboard site as a means of communication within the GSAS community. All GSAS students and faculty have been added to the site and can access it through their main blackboard account under My Organizations.

Thus far, we have created a Discussion Board containing forums for topics such as housing and job information, health insurance, and activities at Bryn Mawr. There are also links to Important Documents and Upcoming Events on the main navigation bar. The blackboard site can be used by students and faculty to send emails to the entire GSAS community announcing events and other relevant information. Please contact the computing services help desk if you have difficulty accessing our blackboard site.
