GSJ Program Offices

Much of what happens in GSJ is in Chester New Hall (CNH). The Director’s office and student and TA workspaces are on the second floor and program staff offices are on the third floor.

Most faculty members who teach and supervise in GSJ have offices in their home departments, so you might need to consult the campus map to find them.

Student workspace

Full-time students have shared office space that you may use for studying and for your TA work. You may also use this office to schedule meetings with students; you’ll probably need to negotiate with your officemates as to who uses the office at what times!

All students in GSJ and Global Peace and Social Justice (GPSJ) also have access to a shared lounge space in CNH 217. You can also find your mailbox in this room, where you can receive campus mail.

If you need to photocopy documents in your role as a TA, you’ll be given a code for the copier. You can find the key to the photocopier area either in your student office or in the lounge.

Considerations for shared offices

You’re permitted to bring books, decorations, or other items to personalize your office space, being mindful to consider your officemates. Please do not use incense, candles, or any other fragrance in your campus office space.

To prevent theft, it’s wise to make sure the office is locked whenever you leave it, even if it’s just for a few minutes. The corridors of CNH are effectively open to all, and unfortunately it is common for laptops, phones, and headphones to go missing.

In-office trash bins get emptied only every couple of weeks, so if you eat in your office please dispose of your food containers in the big trash bin in the central hallway, not in the bin in your office. Also remember to take home your leftovers at the end of each day!

Waterworks

Many campus drinking fountains also provide filtered water for refilling a reusable water bottle, so you might want to keep a mug or water bottle in the office.

There are All-Gender washrooms on both the 2nd and 3rd floor of CNH. There are also All-Gender washrooms in other campus buildings. You can find a list via the Accessibility Office.
