It\u2019s hard to believe we are already over halfway through the semester. Time flies when you\u2019re having fun and working hard. Here are some highlights of the past few months:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Attending the Robert Reich Lecture: Students, faculty, and community members had the opportunity to attend a talk with the former US Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich. He gave a fascinating talk about the future of the US economy and labor market. His quick wit and sense of humor put a positive spin on this serious topic.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Greek Week: As a member of a sorority on campus, I participated in this semester\u2019s Greek Week, a week-long set of events designed to foster community and pride among the 7 fraternities and sororities on campus. Highlights included a community service day, Greek Olympics including chariot races and sumo wrestling, and attending the Logger football game together.<\/p>\n
–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 RDG: Repertory Dance Group is truly a force of nature. Every semester over 200 students participate in around 20 student-choreographed dances and perform for an audience of over 800 students, parents, and supporters.\u00a0 Even complete newbies to dancing (like me) are welcomed enthusiastically. This year I am in two dances and preparing for the big performances (Nov 9th<\/sup> and 10th<\/sup>) has certainly been keeping me on my toes (literally).<\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Political Activism: Puget Sound is ready for an election! Various clubs on campus have hosted debate-viewing parties with large turnouts. One student even organized a voter registration campaign to make sure that everyone was ready for November 6th<\/sup>. \u00a0It\u2019s been fun to talk with my friends about their views and opinions in these weeks leading up to the elections.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all for now! Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s hard to believe we are already over halfway through the semester.
