Friends and Fellowship

GCF encourages all students to build strong friendships during their graduate studies. In addition to the many fellowship times in GCF, there are additional opportunities to gather and coodinate gatherings:

GCF Campus Lunches

NORTH CAMPUS: Ever get stuck on desolate, lonely North Campus? Grab your lunch and join other GCFers for an informal time of fellowship! The current group meets on Wednesdays at noon in the CS building's graduate-student lounge, BYOL (bring your own lunch). Join the "gcflunchnorthcampus" email list for reminders and time/location updates. If you have any questions, would like to join the email list, or would like to attend, but have a scheduling conflict, please contact Mark Gordon. Hope to see you there!

Lindquist Dinners

Throughout the school year, George and Mary Lindquist host a Tuesday dinner at their home that welcomes professionals and graduate students for a home-cooked meal and fellowship. For more information, check out their website.

Social E-mail List

A number of GCF members are a part of a separate e-mail (AKA Squarkoel) list designed for coordinating social events and activities (includes GCF members and non-GCF friends). If you are interested, contact Richard Field for more details.

Weekly Ulitmate Frisbee Game

A number of GCF members take part in a weekly Ultimate Frisbee game with friends in the area. All are welcome for a couple hours of fun and exercise. Play starts at 6:00 on Sundays at Mitchell Field (by UM Hospital). GCF contacts: Mark Gordon and Rachel Mathews.
