NIGHT’S…E-BULLETIN Hello all! Hope you’re having a good summer and
enjoying the seasonal sunshine and heat waves. This month’s e-bulletin is an
abbreviated version of what you might be used to, but we here at MIME felt you
might like an update on upcoming MIME-related summer events and current
postings on the MIME jobs & internships board. The weekly e-bulletins will
resume closer to the beginning of the 2008-09 school year. For now, enjoy the
rest of your summer and we’ll see you in the fall! EXPERIENCE ENGINEERING AT 20th ANNUAL DA

7/17] WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE AN
EFFECTIVE ALLY? Each person who has interest in or chooses to work for social justice
brings unique talents, skills and motives. Though it is often assumed that
being a good ally is a matter of choosing to care about
social justice, in fact most people find that there are new behaviors,
attitudes and strategies that must be learned over time. This session reviews some
common strategies for being an effective ally, looks at challenges related to
learning new habits, and takes a broad and inclusive view of how we can go
about adapting to everyday life as a result of new and changing knowledge. OSU
Student Advocate Christian Matheis will serve as the day's presenter and
facilitator. All levels of learners are encouraged to attend. Lunches are
welcome. · July 24, 11:30 am–1 pm · MU Joyce Powell Leadership Room (first floor next to elevator) Accommodation requests may be made by contacting jodi.nelson@oregonstate.edu. Sponsored
