[GSA Council] Concerns regarding the Le 1000 Ice Skating Rink Event

[Mohd Azam Khan]

Dear Soliman,

Thank you for sharing your views and including this in GSA meeting.

However, my point was to highlight how graduate students faced
disappointment with this event due to technical/event management glitches.

I am not asking to create a capacity of 430 students or unlimited capacity
but another event may be considered with fewer tickets.

This will give a fair chance to students who missed the event. Also, will
help to damage control GSA's image within the graduate students.

Best Regards,
Mohd Azam Khan
