RISE's First-Ever Spring Sem 2009 Update

RISE extends its greatest welcome to both our continuing and new members/supporters! We hope that your winter break was restful and that your school days so far have been productive. We have a number of things going on this semester, so without further ado, let’s get down to business. :D

Your co-chairs this semester are Perla Flores and Miguel Guerrero-Gonzalez. (Yay!) If you wish to contact them for any questions, additional info, comments, and/or words of praise, just shoot an email to risecochairs@gmail.com.

RISE will meet this Friday, 2/13, at 4 pm in 240 Chavez. We know we’ve been frequently changing our time and location for our meetings this semester, but we assure you that we are currently attempting to make a permanent decision that would hopefully work well with everyone’s schedule.

The upcoming events we have so far are:
- AB 540 Dance/Fundraiser (Hosted by Raza Caucus and RISE)
March 7 -- 9pm-12am, Pauley Ballroom
- RISE's 2nd Annual AB 540 Conference
May 3 -- 8:30am-6pm, West Pauley Ballroom
- Tour de Dreams, 9-day bikeride from UCB to UCLA
June 19-28

For those who couldn’t make it to last Friday’s RISE meeting, we basically discussed the plans for Tour de Dreams and the AB540 Conference as well as divided ourselves into various committees for the events. It's also not too late to sign up to be in a committee! If you want to get more involved, either speak to Perla or Miguel (your co-chairs) for the list of committees and the specific tasks each entails.

It's going to be an exciting semester!
