GSA Conference Funding Feedback
Thank you to everyone who has been participating in academic conferences. We are so excited that you are travelling the world to share your research work. We hope it can be possible for more students. Remember to apply for conference funding through the link at the left, up to 30 days after your conference.
If you have thoughts on the structure of conference funding for grad students at OISE, you can fill out a survey at:
surveys.oise.utoronto.ca/surveyviewer2/index.php?surveyID=C2MX1
The data from this survey will be combined with data collected during
GSA's roundtable discussion, by November 14, 2011. It will be used to inform
ongoing discussions with the Dean's office about student conference
funding. If you're passionate about the issue, email gsa.oise@utoronto.ca.
