Survey number 1:

Here is a survey a group of us have been creating for the past couple of weeks. The purpose of the survey is to engage or peers and hear your understanding of diversity. What we hope to do with the results is hand it off to the administration so in their process of hiring the new Chief Diversity Officer a better understanding of the student body will be present.

Thank you for your time.

1. I need a ride for myself and 1 other for Sunday, Dec. 22nd. Our flight leaves at 12:05 from PDX, so we’d have to leave Fox around 9, just in case. We’d also be more than willing to pay for the gas money to get up there. So if anyone is still around at that time, it would be more than appreciated. Hopefully someone will still be around 🙂 Looking forward to a reply.

Thank you so much,
Elisa Hutsell~

The ASC Student Project Fund is open for proposals from now until Friday, Dec. 20. This fund is for sustainable, on-campus projects, which will serve as permanent additions to the campus, as so desired by the student body. Projects for consideration should include those which serve as permanent physical additions.

Examples of projects are the fire pit, electrical outlets in the Bruin Den and the Amphitheater.
