2. Meet-a-Rep Lunch
April 29, 11:15-12:45
Student Center, Room PDR 1 and PDR 2

Come enjoy a zero pressure lunch with one of the Off-Campus GSC 
Representatives. Find out what GSC is doing for you and voice any 
concerns you'd like brought up to the GSC. The Off-Campus Subcommittee 
will be subsidizing as many lunches as our budget allows, so make sure 
to get there early if you want free lunch.

The theme for this lunch is: "What do you consider the most important 
issue for your student life?  How can the GSC and Off-Campus 
Subcommittee help you?"
