With only days left leading up to the November 3 voting deadline, one question on the minds of many is what happens post-election. Candidates have sought offices by making promises and engaging constituents on issues for, at least, the past several months. So how do you continue to make your voice heard and influence policy decisions new and re-elected candidates will make? Our panelists will outline strategies for engagement with the Washington State Legislature and US Congress to ensure that you continue to have a voice on issues that matter to you most.
Fuels 4 Finals is a quarterly passive program at the Kelly ECC, which promotes health wellness, and provides educational resources for students during finals season at the end of the academic quarter. Fuel for Finals is a program that serves students during one of the most stressful weeks of the year. It is a program that helps us, as students, take a break and meet some of our basic needs, which are so often neglected during finals week (e.g. such as eating, socializing, taking a break from looking at a computer screen and engaging in self-care).
This healing circle will support healing, understanding, learning from each other’s shared common experiences, and identifying personal issues which helps us to understand and grow and build community amongst each other. This group is for individuals seeking a decolonized healing and therapeutic space.
