OSPIRG Kick Off Meeting Hosts 53 Student Activists

Saturday, November 12, 2011

Vice-Chair

Last night we had our Kick-off meeting and it was AMAZING as fifty three people came to the meeting. Everyone was so excited about what we do and eager to get involved. Sasha, the regional organizing director for the North West, gave an inspiring speech about the importance of getting involved in one's community. All of OSPIRG's student campaign coordinators also did an wonderful job of explaining the campaigns, with fun and interactive break out sessions following.

We are so happy about how everything turned out! Judging by last night's meeting, this is going to be a great term, full of exciting events and social change.
