>> Greetings GSCA Members:
>>
>> The GSCA is hosting a dialogue session to discuss issues related to the
>> recent hurricane in the Gulf Coast, and how they impact us as students
> of
>> color.  This will take place on Wednesday, September 21, 2005 at 6:00
> p.m.
>> in the Center for Black Culture and Learning.  Issues that will be
>> discussed but are not limited to include:  controversial comments made
> by
>> political figures and entertainers, usage of the term “refugee,”
> analysis
>> of the government’s initial response compared with it’s current
> response,
>> and shifting of personnel within the Federal Emergency Management Agency
>> (FEMA).
>>
>> In addition we requesting that all members make a $20 contribution that
>> will be given to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund on behalf
> of
>> the Graduate Students of Color Association.  Though millions of people
>> have donated, now is not the time for complacency.  Victims of this
>> tragedy will require help for an extended period of time. Of course I
>> realize we are students, so please give what you can.  If you do not
> plan
>> to give monetarily at this time, please do not let that stop you from
>> attending and contributing to this important event.  If you are not able
>> to attend, but would like to contribute funds, please contact myself or
>> another member of the executive board committee.  Please be prompt, as
> we
>> will be ordering food for everyone at the very beginning, and will
> proceed
>> with the discussion.
>>
>> I look forward to seeing you there.
