What is this GSSW wiki? The goal of this wiki is to create an additional space in which every graduate student can benefit from and contribute to the experiences of other graduate students. While the workshop is a face-to-face opportunity for learning and sharing ideas, here the information is available at any time. If you’re at a computer with a web browser, you can join in. Use this space to share information, organize groups, plan activities—the site is what we make it.

Now you may be wondering, "How Do I get Started?" Remember: though only GSSW members can edit pages, anyone can view the content. Here is some useful information about etiquette in wikis.
