We would like to give special thanks to Dean Nils Roemer of the Bass School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology for providing dinner and continuous support for our community.

Additionally, we would like to thank Dr. Shilyh Warren, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies, and Dr. Charles Hatfield, the Program Head of Literature, for their presence, support, and continued engagement with our community of students.

Thank you to our faculty advisor, Dr. Carie King. And thank you to our officers, Swati, Caroline, Junaid, Abhipriya, and Kiran for their work tonight.

Without the students, none of this would be possible. Our events, fundraising, and participation at convention are strengthened by the bonds formed within this community and we are excited to see how much we can do together this year!❤️🤍🎉
