Applications for the Postgraduate Teaching Internship Scheme are currently open.  The Postgraduate Teaching Internship Scheme allows promising doctoral research students (including professional doctoral students) to develop teaching skills in their fields and to undertake a program of professional development activities during the course of their PhD candidature.  Applications close on Monday September 8, and take a while to complete, so if you're interested, now's the time to start working on it!  Full details at: http://www.teachingandlearning.uwa.edu.au/tl4/for_uwa_staff/grants_and_funding/postgraduate_teaching_internship_scheme.

From Monday 21st July, 2008 the Library will employ a pool of Casual Librarians to assist students with information and research queries after hours. One Librarian will be rostered during each evening (6-10pm) and weekend shift (10am – 6pm) to students.  The Librarian will be physically located in the Reid Library and be able to assist all students in person, over the phone or via email / Ask a Librarian.

Congratulations to Monique Robinson, Ashley Horton, Ruth Morgan, Rachael Hains-Wesson, and Christopher White. They got $200 to inprove their department/school/faculty postgrad experience. Help them celebrate at Connect 5-6pm UniClub Cafe Thursday August 7.

Renovations on the PSA Lounge are currently underway, so things are a bit crowded at the moment, and there are occasionally workers in there knocking over walls or pulling tables to bits.  The lounge is still usually useable, we apologise for any disruptions to meetings over the next couple of weeks.

Connect is happening again in 2008. Hang with other postgrads and meet the PSA over free drinks and pizza at the University Club Cafe on the first Thursday of the month 5-6pm.

Congratulations to Rasha Ruhayel, Laura D’Olympio, Sophie Sunderland, Verena Kaminiarz and Daniel Gucciardi for winning a PSA Travel Award. Look out for Semester 2's Awards if you are travelling later in the year.

About the Postgraduate Students' Association

The PSA is the representative body for postgraduate students at UWA. Our core functions are representation, planning activities and providing services to postgraduate students.

Upon enrolment every postgraduate is automatically a member of the UWA Postgraduate Students' Association (PSA). PSA committee members represent postgraduates on UWA Committees from the Senate down to the faculty level.

The PSA organises a number of informative and social events throughout the year in order to keep postgraduates up-to-date and to foster a sense of community amongst the postgraduate cohort. The PSA also provides a free lounge to all postgraduates.

The PSA is a department of the UWA Guild and postgraduates can access Guild advocates if they find themselves in need of advice or representation.

Please join our Mailing List to keep up to date with the latest PSA news and events.
