Icebreaker and Introductions

President:

Elections were held to fill the positions for political coordinator and treasurer. Current Historian Rachel LaRue was elected to the position of political coordinator with Liz Osteen filling the position of historian. Michael Malone is now our acting treasurer.

Amy Davidson needs volunteers to help her research the number of LGBT safe zones on campus. There are a variety of stickers that are placed around the doorways of various buildings on campus. You can volunteer to select a building and make a tally of how many stickers are located in each building. The stickers should be placed on doorways to classrooms and offices. You must tally each individual type of sign you see. If you would like to help, please see Amy for a list of buildings that need to be searched. As a reward, those who bring in their tally sheets completed will receive free pizza.
