cpsylist: Fwd: Unique campus involvment opportunity for UO Graduate Students

[Steve A Livingston]

Hello all,

Please see the email listed below about an opportunity to join the 
Social Justice Theater Group Rehearsals for Life.  It is a great student 
group that I have been a member of for the past 2 years and I cannot say 
enough great things about it.  The group is a lot of fun and a great 
venue through which we are able to discuss difficult topics.  If you 
have any questions about the group please contact myself or the group 
leader, Abigail Leeder, and we would be happy to share any information 
we have.

Hope everybody is ready for the new school year!

Best,

Steve
