ACTION GROUPS
Action groups are working groups that meet outside of our general meeting to take on specific issues, goals, and actions. You can join an action group by emailing [email protected] and telling us what action group(s) you'd like to join and providing a non-university email address. You will then be added to the listserv specific to that group where you will receive communication about meetings, actions, etc.
