Nominations are now being sought for 4 research student representatives to sit on the SGRS Steering Group. All research students are members of SGRS and will be represented on the SGRS Steering Group by one of the successful candidates. The Steering Group, which reports to the Research and Knowledge Transfer Committee, meets formally twice a semester to develop and guide the activities of SGRS. The elected representatives will work closely with the Director and Research Services Officer in planning SGRS events to meet the needs of research students. It is hoped that the elected representatives will reflect the range of academic disciplines across the Faculties, and will include at least one first year student and one part-time student. I attach a nomination form for your use. Completed forms should be returned to the Research Office (Cottrell 3B1)by Friday 28th October 2005, 5pm. In the event that more than four nominations are received, a ballot will be held in the week beginning Monday 31st October 2005 Wilma Ellis Research Services Officer Research Office University of Stirling Stirling FK9 4LA Tel: 01786 466691 Fax: 01786466688
