New MGSS Facebook Page

September 25, 2017 by Kiersten van Vliet

Hi all! After surveying our members, the 2017–18 MGSS Executive Council has decided to create a new MGSS Facebook page, which is more flexible in keeping with the goals of our organization. On behalf of the MGSS EC, we invite you to follow us here.

The old Facebook group is officially unaffiliated with the current MGSS Executive and the new page will be our official Facebook presence. The group has been renamed “Alumni of the McGill Music Graduate Students’ Society” and will remain active for students and alumni who wish to post content & connect. The MGSS EC will no longer be updating or posting events to this group in an official capacity.

We also invite you to follow us on Instagram.

Fall 2015 General Assembly & End of Term Party

November 30, 2015 by

As the Fall semester approaches its conclusion, we’d like to invite you to join us for our final general assembly of the current term and end-of-term party. This event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and to reflect upon our accomplishments over the last term with free food, wine, music, and good company. The general assembly will be held on Friday, December 4th at 5:15 p.m. in A-832. The party will follow the conclusion of the assembly. An agenda and supporting documents will be sent via e-mail on November 27th.

We are calling for nominations for the following vacant area representative positions: Music Technology, Percussion, Piano, Voice, Jazz, Early Music, and Conducting. Elections will be held at the GA. Those who wish to run for said positions must attend the GA OR email mgss.pgss@mail.mcgill.ca to let us know of their intent to run if they cannot attend. As an area representative, you are in an excellent position to foster community at the Schulich School of Music and to positively shape the experience of its graduate students. It is also an excellent opportunity to develop leadership skills working with a variety of other groups on campus. You may nominate yourself or a colleague. More information about each position may be found in the MGSS Constitution.

We look forward to seeing you on December 4th. Until then, best of luck with your end-of-term exams, performances, papers, and projects!
