We welcome any HDRs or allies with ideas, concerns or perhaps interest in joining MGRU to come along for a chat and to put a face to MGRU! It is also a great opportunity to chat to your Academic Senate rep @EFJacko +International Student Senate rep @FaiziAfridi

Take your lunch break with us this Friday at Ubar from 12-2pm! Drop by if you can, we're keen to meet you, to hear how you're going and chat about what we do. Academic Senators @EFJacko (HDR) and @FaiziAfridi (Intl) will join too! RSVP: https://t.co/k4hRUEiCqD

[MGRU @gru_mq_]

The GRA is reviewing policy for HDR student complaints about supervisors. Most people never have to deal with this, but in the off chance you need help - here is guidance + MGRU is also here to help independently of the university: https://t.co/yOHm3cTJDQ

[MGRU @gru_mq_]

@KBHeylen Hi KB, we won't be at the negotiating table in any formal capacity, but we support @MQCasuals who will be there and definitely have HDR perspectives in their midst

[MGRU @gru_mq_]

@KBHeylen We will be discussing this at our next meeting, will let you know how we go. @MQCasuals do great work, so will support them when we have capacity! Thanks for the Q and speak soon KB.
