Over one hundred undergraduates attended 12 "State of The University" forums last night in each college. Our forum in Saybrook had 13 undergraduates and the amazing Brenda Carter. Rebecca Livengood rocks. This is the largest purely GESO-related activity we have ever done, (if "purely GESO related actually has any meaning" - the issues raised by GESO's organizing are directly and immediately pertinent to undergraduates, workers, the new haven community, and the future of higher education, so i guess te line is kind of arbitrary.) I'm excited about where we move from here. To quote DJ T-Framp and Jeffrey Boyd,
"The UOC is just one wing of a wider social movement," UOC member Thomas Frampton '06 said. "We're working together with other social groups in the community to create positive change."
Jeffrey Boyd GRD '04 said he would like to see a stronger alliance develop between GESO and undergraduate students.
"Undergraduates have always been the heart of this campus," Boyd said. "I'm excited to see our relationship with them deepen in an effort to better [the University]."
