Ten Things I Wish I Knew Before I Found Out I Was Losing My Job

This post is a “reprint” of an article published in the August 2011 edition of the UWSA Staff News. While the Staff News is already available online, given the interest in the article, I am re-posting it in our blog to make it easier for UWSA members (and others) to find and link to.

W3 (Waterloo Women’s Wednesdays)

Are you a female staff member at the University of Waterloo who is looking to make connections with other women from around campus?
Join us the last Wednesday of each month (starting in September 2011) at the Grad House from 4-6 p.m. This is a brand-new initiative between the UWSA, FAUW, GSA, and the Postdoctoral Office.

It could take many possible directions, depending on participants’ interests/needs. So, come on out and have a snack or other refreshment, and a say in the future of W3!
