Greetings all,

I hope everyone has had a smooth transition back to school. We're gearing up for a great semester at the Pottery Coop! But first, some housekeeping. My name is Olive (she/her), a fourth-year Psychology major, and I'm one of your co-presidents for this school year! Listed below are the other members of Coop leadership:

Leadership:

Feel free to come to us with questions, concerns, or suggestions! All members are welcome to attend our biweekly leadership meetings, and we'll let everyone know when they're occurring.
