Agenda

-Freedom Alliance updates:

            The presentation went well, we played jeopardy after the presentation in order to see how well the information we presented was retained 

-Safe zone:

The signup sheet for student facilitators was passed around and another signup sheet will be available through the myUMBC QUMBC web site

-Social change model of leadership

            The eight C’s of leadership

            Three groups were formed to talk about Individual, Group, and Community and each group discussed how these three terms were applied to their lives and how we can continue to apply them.

-Movie/ Discussion idea:

            The group Put This On The Map created a documentary called Re-Teaching Gender and Sexuality, and airing it as a QUMBC event was suggested

 The group also offers a variety of options and workshops that will compliment the documentary. 

Next semesters meeting time:

            A poll will be placed on the myUMBC QUMBC web page in order to pick a leading time in which people can vote
