PGSA Brown Bag Lunch #1

September 27, 2006

The Payson Graduate Student Association is proud to announce it first Brown Bag Lunch Talk of the Year. Stephanie Pedro, a recent graduate of LSU’s Master’s in Environmental Planning and Management program, will discuss her Master’s research on Tuesday, October 3rd at 12:15 in the Robing Room of McAllister Auditorium. Ms. Pedro’s research, which was begun pre-Katrina, focuses on delineating hurricane-vulnerable populations in New Orleans. She used census and GIS data to identify high-risk flood areas that were inhabited by populations with limited evacuation resources. Ms. Pedro, who currently works with the Regional Planning Commission, was wooed by many employers upon graduating from LSU and can offer real insight into the knowledge and skills that are highly sought after in the regional job market.

Bring your lunch (PGSA will provide additional sustenance) and please join us.


Tubing!

Come float lazily and merrily down the Boga Chita river in an
inflatable donut. Sing songs, laugh at the Spanish moss and make new friends.
All are heartily welcome to join this Payson-sponsored event.

On Sunday, September 24 at 10am. Please come to Gibson Hall at that time armed with a bathing suit, beverages and raw meat. John is willing to grill if you are willing to bring.
PLEASE RSVP no later than Thursday at noon. That way we can organize transportation and cut costs for you, the blessed Paysonites.
