Greetings from Editor
Hi everyone,
Long time no see! How was the snow in early February? Did you guys
have fun snow-fighting or snow-boarding with trails? I did have a lot of fun
making a (hardly recognizable) snowman. It does not always snow in
Tacoma, especially in February. We are lucky!
How time flies...It feels like we just came back from our sweet home, our
fabulous winter break, now it’s almost time to prepare for mid-term (and plan
for spring break). But don’t be stressed, just remember that we have a lot of
great events to help with mediation and the lovely spring break ahead of us.
Good luck on your midterms and enjoy spring break!
Alternative Spring Break
Do you plan to stay on campus during spring break? Don’t you feel a bit
lonely when half of students have gone home? Want to have you time wellspent instead of just sleeping all day? If your answer is yes to all of the
questions, then Alternative Break Program ("Alt Break" for short) would be
the right option for your break! From March 16th - 19th, Alt Break will investigate the topic of Sustainable Food Justice through discussions, panels,
and hands-on service projects. The registration is already open and the program fee is $50. Learn more about the program here.
