GSG Ignatian Gardens!
Nothing beats fresh produce--other than growing it with friends! GSG is sponsoring three plots in the Ignatian Gardens in an effort to promote networking and healthy living. Participating students will help with weeding and watering and will receive free fruits, vegetables and herbs. The gardening season runs from April-October 2013.
EURAXCESS Research Opportunities!
Mark your calendars for June 4th from 11am-4pm in Hixson-Lied Science Building G04! Lunch will be provided. This is a great opportunity for students (upper level undergraduate, graduate and professional), postdocs, and faculty to learn about funding opportunities for research abroad.
The main objectives of the event are:
- Raising awareness on mobility and career opportunities in Europe, with a special focus on Marie Curie (MC) and European Research Council (ERC) funding schemes.
- Stimulating scientific cooperation between the United States and Europe
- Helping to network researchers from both continents with a view to expand the EURAXESS Links North America Community*

EURAXESS is the main organizer of this cross-disciplinary event targeting researchers at all stages of their career. The audience will be provided with information on funding and collaboration opportunities with Europe. To better underline the EU mobility and research funding opportunities, testimonials from fellows who have already successfully obtained a MC or an ERC fellowship or grant will be presented.
*EURAXESS Links is a networking tool for European researchers working outside Europe and non-European ones wishing to pursue a research career in Europe. It provides information about research in Europe, European research policy, and opportunities for research funding, for international collaboration and for trans-national mobility.
With the participation of James Gavigan – Minister-Counselor Research & Innovation at the EU Delegation to the United States.

Introduction to Self Defense
Do you know how to protect yourself? With graduate students working long hours and/or odd hours, a basic knowledge of self defense is valuable. Therefore, the GSG Student Life Committee hosted an Introduction to Self Defense Course facilitated by Public Safety and Mary Joe, Lynn Snoza, and Bryan Hilson with the American School of Karate and Judo. We would like to greatly thank our trainers for their time and expertise. A questionnaire is being sent out to participants, and we are exploring the option of offering a monthly training. This would allow students to practice techniques and learn more advanced ones. If you are interested in a monthly Self Defense practice, please contact MarshaPierce@creighton.edu.
