Our Future, Our Voices, #OurGustavus

UPDATE: Our Gustavus is going through a restructuring phase and working to build a base of outreach and education. We will be back soon with updates on where we are going through the summer // in the upcoming school year.

TONIGHT @ 8:30 PM in Linner Lounge, we will be hosting a student forum about restructuring + revisiting the purpose of this movement. With the potential of scrapping what we currently have and talking about how we as students want to move forward as a collective. This is a movement for students by students.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU COME + SHARE! Ideas, suggestions + constructive criticisms are welcomed at this dialogue (as always). On another note, remember to bring: listening ears and patience for differing viewpoints. Hope to see you there, friends!!!!!!!

Hey Gusties! Tonight at 7 PM there will be a community dialogue session in Ryan Franke's garage, 429a Wabasha Street. There will be a short presentation given by Torin Dogherty and then time for good discussion and music jams afterwards. All of those from the Gustavus community are invited as this is a time to learn, reflect, laugh, and grow together.

Happy Friday, Gusties! Don't forget to pick up this week's edition of The Gustavian Weekly, we made the front page!
