Interested in being a tour guide?

The JSA Initiatives fund provides money for graduate students to act as tour guides and radiological escorts for tours. Tours are usually ~90 minutes with the pay being $30 per tour as a radiological tour escort and $50 per tour as a lead tour guide. Requirements: Rad Worker I, ODH, sign the current Radiation Work Permit (RWP), and if escorting into one of the halls, then the Safety Training for that hall. If you are interested in being put on the list of available tour escorts or guides for the future, please email Michelle Lechman (lechman@jlab.org).

Logo Contest

Anybody interested in opening a "LOGO contest" for our association?? We could ask the grad students and post docs to come up with a logo for the GSPDA to be placed on our wiki webpage for now. Just a frivolous idea.
