Looking back at O Week, and to the year ahead for the PSGA
O Week: 24-28 February
This week is the official start of the PGSA’s year with O Week 2020!

All postgraduates (Honours, Masters or PhD) are very welcome at the below events, although the Information Evening is designed for new arrivals.
Victorias Awards Winners
The 2019 Victorias Awards were held earlier this week, where we celebrated the excellence of the VUW postgraduate communities. Click through to see all the winners!
Vote for the 2019 Landers Award Winner
Each year the faculties each nominate a postgraduate student who they think should be awarded for fostering the ideals of the Postgraduate Students’ Association - a student who has demonstrated a commitment to fostering camaraderie and collective consciousness among their colleagues in the postgraduate community. Postgraduates vote for the winner from the faculty nominees. Voting is now open, find a link in the full article.
Timesheets for Tutors
The university is changing all the time, and small and big changes to university policies can make a big difference to students' lives. Sometimes these changes are internally driven, and sometimes the University is bound to directives from the Government. Student activism and engagement is essential to taking charge of the decisions that shape our destinies.
Annual General Meeting: Results and Confirmatory Votes
Unfortunately, we didn’t quite make the quorum required for the meeting, so there are a few matters we need to confirm with the membership. This includes the motions from the meeting, and the election of Executive members who stood for unfilled positions during the meeting.
Strike 4 Climate NZ
It was a pleasure to be part of the Climate Strike in Wellington last month, which was so well attended the VUW contingent didn’t even make it into Civic Square! In this month’s Spotlight, Strike 4 Climate NZ Organiser Abi O’Regan told us why it’s so important for students to get involved in the movement.
Annual General Meeting: Executive Member Nominations
Each year at the AGM we elect the new PGSA Executive for the coming year. This year we've clarified the role descriptions and added new roles to improve the functioning of the exec in 2020. Read the full post for the role descriptions.
We are calling for nominations in advance of the AGM to give our members the opportunity to submit proxy votes in case they cannot attend. Nominations are due by 5pm on Wednesday 2 October. If we have no nominations for a role, or do not have candidates to fill all positions, we will open nominations to members present at the AGM.
All Executive positions are subject to election at the AGM, and all present Executive Members are required to re-nominate themselves at this time.
