As a part of the (unofficial) graduate orientation, you are all invited to MGSA (Math Graduate Student Association)'s Beginning-of-Year Social event! To break the pub-going tradition (as some students are not completely comfortable in pubs) and to enjoy the last bit of summer, we will have an outdoor picnic dinner at High Park this time (weather permitting). :-) [In case of sun and very light rain, we will head to High Park from the department together. You can do any of the park activities you like (bring your own equipment, e.g. frisbees, balls), picnic lunch, then more exploring.] MEETING PLACE: Math Lounge (Bahen 6th Floor, circular area) MEETING TIME: Thursday, September 9 at 3:30pm (will wait for 15 minutes) ESTIMATED EVENT RUNNING TIME: 3:30-8pm (before it gets dark out) LURING FACTORS (besides being in good company): All attendants who are members of the department will receive a $5 food/drink cash subsidy. But you are responsible for bring or buying (from the restaurant at High Park) your own dinner (and drink). A variety of natural juices will be provided. TRANSPORTATION: We will use the TTC, and maybe try to take advantage of one of their group discounts. ABOUT THE PARK: www.highparktoronto.com. High Park is a large park and one of those places in Toronto you must know and visit if you live here. The earlier you find out about it, the better! [In case of heavy rain, we will play games and chat at the department from 3:30-5:30pm, and then head over to dinner together, and hopefully a kind and powerful restaurant will have pity on us. (I'll try to make reservation on the day. Our worst enemy and loyal friend will be pizza.)] MEETING PLACE: same. MEETING TIME: same. ESTIMATED EVENT RUNNING TIME: same. LURING FACTORS: same ... or maybe $5/person-equivalent subsidy depending on format of food. TRANSPORTATION: simplified. ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT: www.math.utoronto.ca If you have questions about this event, feel free to email me at lzhang@math.utoronto.ca. Please come and mingle with each other, and get to meet the new students first hand! New faces are most welcome! Feel free to bring your partner(s) and kids (if you have any). Looking forward to meeting/seeing everyone! Lucy on behalf of the MGSA
