Dear GBLUR Member,

Please take 30 seconds (literally 30 seconds) to fill out this quick 1 question survey.

http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/294217/GBLUR-Rebrand-Name-Survey

The GBLUR Board proposed at the SGM meeting we had on Monday about a possible rebranding and we’d like some input regarding names. The survey will ask you to rank 5 names from 1 to 5 (and provide your own idea if you have one). This wont determine what our new name is, but will give us an idea of what you all think. Start the survey here:

If you have questions, concerns, or would be interested in helping us further, please email us at contactus@gblur.ca.

Cheers and enjoy your sunny weekend!

Hey everyone. I thought I’d make a peep and let you know that GBLUR hasn’t fallen asleep. (that rhymed )

The board has been very busy, especially with it being the end of the semester. We currently don’t have anything we need to announce publicly as we’ve been planning on what we will be doing this summer, searching for grants, and preparing the lounge and ED switch; in other words, BORING stuff for you guys. We do feel we should at least give you a quick update so you’re not in the dark.

GBLUR News for Late March/Early April:

1 – SPRING SUMMER SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
GBLUR has set the date for the next SGM to be May 3rd at 3:30pm. We have the URSU Board room booked and will be providing refreshments as usual. Please come on out as we have some things we’d like to tell you about… which we will let you know about soon, agenda-wise.

2 – GBLUR LOUNGE
Things are slowly shaping up in the new office/lounge in room 225 and we will probably make the switch during the summer. Look forward to a new library system, white board, projection screen, and MOOD LIGHTING! We’ll be decorating over the summer as well so if you’re around during the sizzling months, we’d love to have a hand with things.

3 – POSTER BOARDS
We’ve torn down the old GBLUR wallpaper on our board space in College West and Education Building and replaced it with more informative content. We hope you like the new look

That’s it for now! Good luck on exams!
