Last Conference of the Year

Overall, the last MSUSA conference of the year was a good one, even though some of the usual drama ensued. I am very proud of everyone from our group...we spoke our minds and stood our ground. The supposed diversity amendment, which would have further singled out underrepresented groups and done absolutely nothing to actually improve diversity in a positive way, was defeated. And, thanks to Robert's Rules of Order, a budget was passed...the immature walkout of two other campuses didn't work. We are strong, we stand our ground, and we will not be bullied by strong-arm tactics.

It was also sort of a bittersweet event...the last conference the current Senate group will have together before the big graduation/internship/student teaching turnover. Only about 2 weeks left...it hasn't hit me full force yet but I know it's coming and that's tough.
