Last week, USG co-sponsored Graduate Experience Day with the Graduate Student Association and the Student Bar Association. The event attracted about 75 undergraduate students who were eager to learn about graduate education at DU.

Students may have noticed that the bike-sharing program is operating. It offers an alternative transportation tool to get around Denver. The bike-sharing program allows students to take a bike from DU, ride it downtown, drop it off, walk around, pick up another bike from a different location, and ride it back to DU. The downtown kiosks will replace the bike library program USG had in place last quarter while awaiting the implementation of the new program.  This is a very exciting endeavor that has been pursued by the USG since the 2009 winter quarter.

USG also co-sponsored last Thursday’s Global Gala at Mile High Station near Invesco Field. Junior senator’s Chris Fettig and Nate Pearson did a great job of organizing and executing the event. The gala was very well attended and featured various cultural performances and international finger foods.
