TONIGHT @ 8:30 PM in Linner Lounge, we will be hosting a student forum about restructuring + revisiting the purpose of this movement. With the potential of scrapping what we currently have and talking about how we as students want to move forward as a collective. This is a movement for students by students.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU COME + SHARE! Ideas, suggestions + constructive criticisms are welcomed at this dialogue (as always). On another note, remember to bring: listening ears and patience for differing viewpoints. Hope to see you there, friends!!!!!!!

There will be a short presentation given by Torin Dogherty and then time for good discussion and music jams afterwards.
