I hope everyone had a restful Thanksgiving Break. This semester is almost over, but first we'd like to tell you about two upcoming things:
1. Catholicism and Homosexuality Forum
2. Final General Body Meeting of the Semester
1. The Catholic Student Center is sponosring a forum to talk about the intersection of Catholicism and homosexuality. The discussion will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, November 28th at 7 PM in the Brown Lounge (top floor of Brown Hall). It'll be a great opportunity to
learn, listen and discuss the impact of Catholic teaching with people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual and their allies. Open to all.
2. Our final general body meeting of the semester will take place next Tuesday at 8 PM in the ground floor common room of Eliot House. Take a break from studying and finals by making gingerbread houses with us! We'll also be discussing committees, upcoming conferences, open exec board positions for next semester, and starting to plan the drag show.
As always, e-mail pridewu@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great week!
