Hi everyone, 

Just a reminder to please NOMINATE your fellow students [1] who will be
around next year for GRAD REP! There's only been two responses so far,

Happy friday!

Please nominate folks for the position (including yourself if you'd like) who you think would be a good fit. Also let me know if you have any questions about the position - I'd be happy to chat about it if you're interested :)

Lloyd presented and gathered feedback on a TA EXPECTATION FORM that structures the conversation between a TA and professor before a class begins, which will go into effect in the Fall for each Music course! Thank you Lloyd for all your work on this!

If anyone has better notes on this section, please add. I get the sense that further discussion is necessary on this topic.
