Spring Barn Dance is Tuesday
Join SECS, GLC, Illini Democrats, and other progressive and sustainable RSOs for our Spring 2025 Progressive Barn Dance on Tuesday, March 24, 2025!
We have a few rules that we must follow on the bus to ensure this event goes smoothly. First, there are absolutely no drinks allowed on the bus. Furthermore, if you throw up on the bus, you will be responsible for paying a $300 fee. You are required to arrive and leave the barn on the bus you purchase a ticket for, if you attempt to take a different bus home, you risk having no way back to campus. Additionally, no Ubers or Lyfts are allowed to or from the barn, so ensure you are on time to your bus pick-up times. Please be respectful and enjoy your night responsibly!
If you have any questions or are doing a bulk purchase for a RSO, please reach out to [email protected].
Pension Divestment Panel
We’ve been fighting for divestment of millions here at the U of I, and the Illinois system has billions invested. Anyone who gets a pension should know how that money is raised. Please invite any of professors or grad students you know to learn!
New Episode of the SECS talk!
