Happy November!
Hey y’all. Holdin steadfast with all the exams still? I sure hope so! Thank you to everyone who came out to Halloqueen! I hope y’all enjoyed the event, it couldn’t have been that great without y’all!
With Thanksgiving coming up at the end of the month and finals soon after, Pride is winding down on the big events. We of course still have our weekly small group meetings and several other small events that y’all can go to. Also included in this week’s newsletter are numerous off campus opportunities and chances to work with several different organizations.
