Next meeting, Monday, August 31, 2:00-3:00 in the Library's Silent Study Room. Hope you'll come by and join us. We'd love to meet you!

Supreme Court Decision: Bad; Follow Up Meeting: Good!

We had a wonderful turn out at our special meeting on Tuesday, May 26 to discuss the California Supreme Court's decision on Proposition 8.

Members of the college community shared their ideas, thoughts and feelings, including students, staff, faculty and President Mohr, who encouraged us not to be patient but rather to be driven, and to take a scholarly approach to the issues. Let's take this (very expected) set back and turn it into fuel for the next battle. We'll win eventually!
