The GSC’s website is in the process of transitioning over to a new back end. All the information you’re used to finding here will be back within the next few days, hopefully in a form that’s easier for you to use and for the GSC administration to maintain. In the meantime you’ll probably see the website’s guts splayed out, so pardon the mess. Please forward any comments to Jadrian Miles: jadrian UNDERSCORE miles AT brown DOT edu.

As information gets posted it will show up at the “Pages” link to the left. For the event calendar, information about the listservs, lounge requests, etc., please check out that link.
