UMI UPDATES

Greetings Brothers and Sisters

The nippy blanket is now upon us and it looks like its here to stay. Hope everyone can find a warm space to rest your head a night and a heated feeling so you can stay warm in the cold.
We at Umi have been working hard to make changes to match the seasons, and to keep the circulation in the community flowing.

Check out this blog, it seems like people are understanding the vibe:

Ok, so here are some very interesting things happening at UMI in the upcoming Week

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27th 2008

Presentation of "Stories from the Ground: A Red Cross aid-worker in Darfur"

Followed by a screening of "Darfur Now"
7:00 PM Start Time

Presented by:

Students Taking Action Now: Darfur (STAND) is a national student-led coalition focused on making genocide prevention a cornerstone of Canadian Foreign Policy, advocating and lobbying for the resolution of the conflict in Darfur, Sudan. STAND was founded in 2005 in University of Western Ontario and has since spread to over 30 chapters across Canada. Over a decade after the genocide in Rwanda and over half a century after the ethnic cleansing of the Holocaust, the world has yet to act quickly in the face of genocide. Out of a sense of responsib­ility to take action, we commit ourselves to work together to increase consciousness about ongoing and potential genocides among our fellow students and in the greater Canadian Community, to raise funds for relief and protection for the victims and displaced, and to advocate for political action to be taken for a swift and sustainable solution to ending genocide.
