[Hum-DIS] Hum-DIS Digest, Vol 28, Issue 17

[Robyn Tucker]

Hi Kerry

I am a current student who hadn't replied - I am an external/online
student, and this group sounds like it is for internal students. Is
this right? I'd join if it would be useful, but it sounds like you
need to be at Curtin. Let me know if not

Thanks
Robyn Tucker

> It is not the academic staff who run ISSA, it is you!  So please add
> your form to the few I have received already.  As I said in the letter:
> "Please leave your completed forms in Kerry Smith's pigeon hole on the
> 3rd floor in building 209. External students who wish to be involved may
> post or fax in their form".  External students can be involved
> electronically as once ISSA is up and running, the ISSA group will
> establish some form of e-communication with you.  OR if you study
> externally, yet live in the Perth environs and can make their meetings,
> then you will be most welcome.
>
>
>
> I attach the form for those who can't find it amongst their growing
> piles of semester 1 notes and papers.

>
> All the best in your studies with us.
