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

At the Channing Murray Foundation, 1209 W Oregon Street. Come learn about what SECS does and how you can get involved!

Keep track of everything SECS does on our calendar!

Here’s what we’re up to this week:

• Action: Discussing and planning our referendum campaign

• Education: Brainstorming for the new semester.

• Garden: Reflecting on the past semester and planning this semester.

• Green Observer: Brainstorming the new edition, check out the call for submissions below!

• Media: Planning the scrap book including the initial layout.

• Policy: Refreshing ourselves on the bill and starting legislative outreach.

If you missed the last meeting, the CFE SECS working group will no longer be meeting. The Circular Fashion Expo will refocus their efforts on sustainability themselves, and we look forward to continued collaboration with them.
