We are finally getting the funding sorted out for everyone. One of the important things to note is that everyone will be offered a TA/GAship in ITM. This will count as part of the funding package. I am very pleased that ITM has stepped up so graciously.
We had our first program director's meeting in grad studies this week and it was really good to meet the new dean. I think that we should invite her to an MMSc event so she can meet everyone.
One of the things that I think is worth some words is the Fall Break proposal for next year. Ryerson is changing to a 12 week term for Fall 2012. Graduate course are already a 12 week term but we begin our term one week after the undergrad courses begin. The proposal is for grad school to begin in the same week as undergrad next year so that everyone can have a Fall break. This means that all grad students would start the day after Labour Day instead of a week later. Your thoughts on this would be most useful.

Hi Deb,
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us updated.
How will funding work for part-time students.
Thanks,
Stephen.
Unfortunately, funding is not available for part-time students as they are normally working - sorry about that Stephen.
ReplyDeleteNo problem :-)
