As a former postgrad rep (after 2 years work) I feel very strongly about the referendum (both questions are ideas I've pushed since 2004 on your behalf) and about increasing both postgraduate participation and postgraduate representation. This page is for the postgrads, I hope it answers your questions, and for those who haven't seen graduate college... I hope this helps you find it!

Summary

• Grads will now vote in graduate porters lodge (near grad bar) and NOT in the library

• If you doing a masters, doctorate, postgraduate certificate etc this means you!

• Unless 1,500 people vote yes, the referendum doesn't count!

• Please vote. Make your friends vote. Walk down as a group and get others to join you.

• Please vote "yes" to both referendum questions, and please vote Oboler #1 for Gen Sec. :)

• I'm a Masters student. I wasn't here last year. I won't be here next year. Why should I bother?

The Referendum
For grads particularly it's definitly worth voting, in addition to a number of postgrad candidates running (including myself) who will be in a position to handle postgrad issues (as well as everything else!) if elected, there are 2 referendum questions. One is to create a postgrad sabbatical, the other is to create 3 postgrad faculty reps. All students should vote yes to both questions (it helps students and would free up the other sabbatical officers time a bit), but postgrads in particular should make sure they vote.
