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~
