QSU Weekly Email
Hey! I hope your first week of classes has been going well! Remember that the QRC is open most of the day, so feel free to stop by during that hour break in your schedule or any time!
This week at our meeting (Tues., 6pm, QRC), we will be playing board games like Apples to Apples or Funglish! Afterward, we will be flyering for the Big Gay Callout!
The Big Gay Callout is this Thursday at 7pm in Class of 1950 (room 224, the lecture room). Our key speaker will be Charlie Shook, Chairman of the West Lafayette Human Rights Commission, who worked to get Gender Identity and Expression added to West Lafayette's Nondiscrimination Policy last semester. Following the speaker, we will open it up to a resource-fair, allowing everyone to visit the different organizations represented. After the callout, we will be hosting a "Coffee Night" at Vienna Coffeehouse (on Chauncey, across from Chase). It's a great time to socialize, make new friends, and get reaquainted with old friends!
The QSU is also searching for a Social Chair and Fundraising Chair. If you are interested in getting involved in event-planning and leadership, email me at bklewis@purdue.edu or our president, Nicholas Goldsmith, at ngoldsmi@purdue.edu.
Thanks!
