Hi everyone,

Last year, people found it useful to have an AAG schedule that contained
helpful information on the timing and locations of presentations involving
SGSUP students and faculty. For AAG 2024, I asked one of my TAs to create
a Google form to collect similar kinds of information for this year's
upcoming conference.

*Here is the link
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.gle/P6M9Gftg7wdvMQcy7__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!ay1wkCmoeR-dElteOCIC7jXS422SbUQMVh-JNURFnCdQyicFHVt7O2q4PgQ8rcojTHc-Q3Pv2gF_HQbYhGCvHCy6tsM$>
to
the Google Form that we ask you to fill out if you are presenting at AAG
2024. *

Hi all,

I hope finals are going well. I have a few short updates:

1. We received four nominations for the Graduate student committee and two
individuals accepted their nominations. As we hope to support a committee
of 3-4 students, we need additional nominations. Please consider nominating
an MA/PhD student (self nominations are also encouraged) to serve in these
leadership roles. Provided I receive a few more nominations, I will reach
out to those who are nominated to see if they accept the nomination and
then if they do, elections will be held. *Please use this form to nominate

Hi all,

I hope you had a restful break. We have only three nominations for the

Hi all,

I hope everyone is doing well. My time as Graduate Student
Representative comes to an end in December so it is time to nominate and
elect new student leadership.

Over the past several years, SGSUP Graduate student representation has
taken several forms. Prior to this year, there was a 6-person Graduate
Student Committee that represented students across graduate programs in
SGSUP. This past year, I have served as the singular Graduate Student
Representative, working with Jacob Heid (president of the Student Planning
Association), to represent graduate student needs.

Hi all,

Due to a lack of interest in filling its positions, the GSC is disbanding

- Represent the graduate student body at faculty meetings on the third
Friday of every month.

student body.
- Voice graduate student concerns to department administrators.

Dear all,

It is that time of the year when we are closing in on the semester and
getting ready to dial in some winter holiday mood. The year has been a
mixed bag for everyone, as a year always is - sprinkled with joys, sorrows,
achievements, and lessons. But we all made it through, and made it well! We
thought it would be nice to show some gratitude and share some love with
people who have been around through all this with us.

Hey all-

Only five of us answered my last email about a meeting time. So we'll have
an open discussion on Thursday, April 1st, from 1-2pm MST. I'll get a zoom

Dear SGSUP community,

In light of the recent hate crime
<https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/03/18/us/atlanta-shootings-massage-spa> that
led to the death of eight people
<https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56446771>in Atlanta, the
Graduate Student
Committee wishes to extend our solidarity and support - especially to our
AAPI, BIPOC, and international students.

The past few years have witnessed a tragic rise in racist hate crimes
against minorities in the United States. A report released by Stop AAPI Hate
<https://secureservercdn.net/104.238.69.231/a1w.90d.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/210312-Stop-AAPI-Hate-National-Report-.pdf>
reveals
that while there has been an overall rise in anti-Asian hate crimes, Asian
women, in particular, report hate incidents 2.3 times more frequently than
men.

Hi all!

Just learned of this opportunity to serve your fellow graduate and
professional students at Arizona State University. They are explicitly
looking for those who aren't currently involved in university service (like
SGSUP GSC, GPSA, etc.). This is a great opportunity for incoming masters
students or any early stage PhD (the position has a two-year term). More
details are below, and you can apply here

Hello,

Many of you have met my cat, Coco. Unfortunately, where I am moving to at
the end of July will prevent me from keeping her. So, I'm trying to find a
place for her. She is a very affectionate long-haired tortoise shell cat
that has been very well socialized with humans, other cats, and dogs. If
you are interested, or know someone who might be interested, please let me
know.

Is anyone interested in paid dog sitting during the last week in July? You will need to be familiar with dogs (a labradoodle), and stay in a house in north Scottdale with all the amenities, including a pool. You would have the place to yourself. Please contact me. Thanks.

Colleagues: Amid all the concern about the pandemic and the recent societal turmoil, you might have missed the notice that one of the brightest lights in our discipline has gone dark. I wish to bring to your attention the passing of one of the genuine exemplars of our discipline, Ron Johnston. Like "are own" Michael Goodchild and Michael Batty, Ron received what is often called the "Nobel Prize for Geography," the Vautrin Lud Prize (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vautrin_Lud_Prize). Ron received a great many other honors, including a lifetime achievement award from the AAG. His broad scope is illustrated by the fact that he
