Hi Everyone!
As you all have probably heard the students of color from The University of Missouri at Mizzou have encountered a series of racial discrimination. Tomorrow (Friday, November 13, 2015) the students of MSU will be wearing all black to support the students at this time. We encourage all of you to join us in wearing as much black (in dress code sorry) as possible! We will also be taking a picture after classes in front of Reed if you would like to join in that.
Thanks!

Last chance to sign up for the GLSEN conference. We will leave from the Schoolhouse at 8:15 a.m. on Saturday and return to campus at 4 p.m.
Please email me if you would like to go. We have room for 1 or 2 more.
The theme of the 2015 GLSEN Fall Conference is “Both/And.” With this theme, we strive to explore our varied and multiple identities, how they connect and overlap, and how they are impacted by place and context. We want conference attendees to bring their whole selves to the conference and build together.
Sincerely,
Matt Spearing

Hi all,
Just an FYI that we are hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive this Friday from 9-2 in Reed (yes, Friday the 13th). Sign-ups have been going on at lunch, but I wanted to offer a chance for you to sign-up via email if that is easier.
There are plenty of time slots still available. Please let me know if you are available to donate that day, and what time would be convenient. For those interested, they will also take double red cell donations on Friday (they can do two at a time, every hour).
A huge thank you to those of you who have already signed up.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Kate
