STAND meeting tonight at 6:30, leadership applications for 09-10 available

[STAND Mizzou]

Hello,

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Darfur Benefit Concert this
past Friday to help raise money for the Genocide Intervention Network.

We'll be having our last (short) meeting tonight at 6:30 in Strickland
119 to discuss events for the fall semester, recruitment and
leadership positions.

We really really need people to fill in STAND leadership positions for
the 09-10 school year. It is a perfect way to get involved in the
direct planning of events and looks GREAT on resumes.
The application is open to everyone interested, even if you haven't
been able to make it to many meetings or events this semester. You can
find applications at

Finally, check out this article about our U.S. Congress people people
demanding access of aid groups into Sudan and getting arrested for
their protest.

events are geared to helping others gain a better understanding of
Africa, by producing nights such as Movie night which is devoted to
the major Nigerian film industry also known as Nollywood. It is also
our obligation to help bring awareness and focus on issues arising in
Africa by bringing speakers such as Kambale Musavuli to speak about
the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
