SECS Meeting This Wednesday, 6:30-7:30!

We had a great first meeting everyone. Now that we’ve gotten the introductions out of the way we’re happy to get back into our regular work. Working groups will be meeting, projects will be started.

If you missed the first meeting, no problem, come by and we’ll get you introduced and up to speed in no time. We meet at the Channing Murray Foundation, 1209 W Oregon Street.

Community Building at 6:00

Before our meetings, from 6:00-6:30, come to the Channing Murray for some community building. If you’re new and want to make some friends, or a returning member who wants to meet more of SECS, come say hello.

Policy workshop series: “What is divestment?”

September 5th, at 2pm, come to the Channing Murray Foundation to learn about divestment. What it is, why we want it, and how we’re fighting for it! The first in a series, stay tuned to learn more about policy issues and how you can get involved.
