Board Update
The PILF Board met in September to reexamine our mission and refocus our work. We are very excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and we welcome suggestions. One way to get involved in this process is to attend the first Action Committee meeting!
Conference Funding Requests
PILF has limited funding available to assist students who wish to attend conferences that address social justice issues. Interest students must fill out and submit the Conference Funding Request form found on the PILF TWEN site 4 weeks prior to the date of the conference. All completed forms must be put in Sabrina Andrus's mail folder.
Mark your calendars!
The 2007 PILF Auction will be held at the Lake Union Armory on Friday, February 2nd. It's never too early to procure items for the Auction! If you have a one-of-a-kind painting that you just can't wait to get rid of, let us know! You can pick up procurement forms from Hillary Jorgensen at jorgens1@seattleu.edu.
