So here is the logo. The font and pitch etc... can be changed pretty much up to the last point. We could add UW on one side of the building, and RF on the other, probably in red... but here is the basic logo. See you all tomorrow morning.

Update

I got the "ok" from Nikki to give the project to DOC

updated demographics

Here are some more demographics that I have found:

Sample demographics (from campus climate survey):

-129 people (6%) who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer;

-18 (1%) who were questioning their sexuality

-2,096 (93%) who identified as heterosexual

-164 (7%) People of Color
-2,073 (93%) White respondents
-40 people (2%) who identified as having a physical disability
-52 people (2%) who identified as having a learning disability
-53 people (2%) who identified as having a psychological condition

-688 people (31%) who identified their spiritual affiliation as other than

Christian (including those with no affiliation)

Stats:

09-10 transfer students: 634

09-10 re-entry transfer students: 58

WI Resident: 50%
Non Resident: 3%
Reciprocity: 47%

Full-time students: 93%

Part-time students: 7%

Group Meeting 4/25

Time: 3-3:50
Present: Everyone

Clarification of ideas:
Danae: email idea
cammy: discrimination policy is on a one-on-one basis. Will address the issue when one person accuses the other
Dylan: WOW is optional for transfer students
weekly e-newsletter to give off campus people a better idea of what's going on
off-campus outreach program
post things at the drinking fountain and bathrooms
*sam: transfered here and didn't hear anything about WOW*
logo- finding one is difficult on the internet; if anything can make one up
Minoori: we liked the posted slogan
couple ideas to welcome others
Emy: most R.A.'s would be willing to post the flyers
also more than willing to host a dorm-wide event



Monthly email idea:
first is an announcement
second begins the monthly announcements and calendar of events; if any student orgs need to make a statement they could throw on a note
could be interviews


Danae will discuss the angle from which we are approaching the discrimination issue so we do not confuse people.

Progress on individual assignments

Hey group,

Here is the place where you can update the rest of the group before Monday about what you have been working on all week! On Monday we will go into more detail about our individual assignments and collaborate to put them together! See you all Monday at 3!

Group Meeting 4/18

Present: everyone
Time: 3-3:50

I.solidifying communication: gain clarity on how to address problem

II. vote taken on what solution will look like:
sam: focus on discrimination
minori: discrimination may be too big
Danae: good for what everyone else wants to do
Dylan: Will do what we all want
Emy: great leader


Our goal: our focus for our solution will be finding a series of actions to be taken (pre, post, and in maintenance) when discriminatory actions are made.

idea: year of anti-disrimination called Build Your Stronger Community
using major events such as WOW, homecoming, freeze fest, finals fest, unity in the community to address  the issue throughout.

Use DOC (Diversity Organizations Coalition) to implement, coordinate, and develop with.
