New Semester, More Progress

Hey GSAers,

Sorry about the sporadic updating, but getting this website off the ground was more work than I anticipated. We're still looking for people to develop content for the website- feel free to pick up any of the undeveloped topics that are currently linked on the website, or come up with one on your own. E-mailing me with your idea and/or your content is all you have to do to get yourself published.

In other news, Jamie, Ryan and I (Michelle had lab) had a very successful meeting with President Strassburger and Dean Nolan before the semester was out. The absence of LGBTQA information and resources in Wellness was going to be addressed immediately, so look for new pamphlets, dental dams and extra-strength condoms in the office soon. Less immediately resolvable problems that are being addressed are the issues of training for nurses and counsellors for our community, an advocate equivalent to what SUN and ALMA have, and a gay-angle speaker. We can look forward to these things within the next semester or two, and will be updating you on our progress. Dean Nolan and President Strassburger were pleasantly receptive and eager to resolve these problems, so we have little doubt that they will follow through.

We will be announcing the next meeting when we get back on campus.

-Emily, Treasurer and Webmaster.
