Communication with the City

Because of the issues affecting students, several students ran in last month’s election.

Yesterday, Matt Goodman won.

One step closer to ensuring our needs are heard at the city level.

Multicultural

Very complex

However, I would like to see the next Conversation on Diversity not only reemphasize that we need a Multicultural Center on Campus, but a forum of where it should be and what should be in it
