Welcome Back 4/3 Update

Hello!

I hope your first week has been great or at least ok.
This past Tuesday we gathered in Newport Beach A. We had several fun activities. Some of us learned about cars, others about fruits, heck we even learned about some tasty beverages.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • Come join the committee that plans our annual drag show. If you saw something problematic in last year's show that you would like to change we encourage you to join. Ideas are welcomed. Meetings will be every Wednesday at 7PM in SST 220.
  • Isabel Bogarin needs volunteers for a photography project in which she will be focusing on the LGBTQIA community, along with labels and identity. She will be taking 3 portraits of each person. Each image will be submitted to Catalyst Gallery so she can host her first solo gallery showing. She needs at least 13 volunteers.  If interested please contact her. (ibogarin@uci.edu)
  • Delta Lambda Phi has begun recruiting. DLP is a greek fraternity for gay, bisexual and progressive  men. They have events going on throughout this week and week 2. To find out more about their events, head on over to their facebook (Delta Lambda Phi)
  • Elections for ASUCI are around the corner. Tonight we had the pleasure of having the following candidates speak to us regarding their campaign: Traci Ishigo for President, Andrea Gaspar for Executive Vice President, Jessica Phan for Vice President of Student Services and, Neil Bautista for Vice President of Academic Affairs. Found below are links to the tumblr (that I was able to find) and their candidate info.
