QSA Update before the Winter Break

Meetings will resume once we return for class, on January 15. Yes I know that classes don’t start until Thursday the 18th, but we will meet about an hour early at 6:00 so that we can spend time planning for the semester. Chart out goals, dates, events, programming, and how the group will be structured from here out. This meeting will form the basis of the group steering committee — anyone is welcome to join and provide feedback, without it the group wouldn’t have your interests in mind!

FURY Thanks and Gratitude
