Hi everyone!

So... I begin by apologizing profusely for the updates... well lack thereof, really. I would love to say that I promise it won't happen again (and it might just happen because it's the LAST WEEK OF CLASS!), but i grant you no guarantees (unfortunately). 

Nevertheless! The Pride Annual General Meeting (AGM) did happen on Sunday March 26th, and our list of execs for the following year stand thus: 

Admin:

Co-Chairs: Jo Greenberg & Rebecca Hassan

Treasurer: Ema Salja

Secretary: Adrian Diaz

Exec members:

On the QT co-facilitator: Anna JorDancin

On the DL co-facilitators: Richard Rigby & Mary Shen

Website Coordinator: Aria Cheng

Outreach Coordinator: Sumi Singh

Publicity Coordinator: Ted Wilson

Storytime Coordinator: Abigail Feresten

A HUGE thank you to our outgoing execs and congratulations to our incoming executive members!

Have a great last week of class everyone! And make sure to stay tuned for the Summer Edition of Pride UBC events! :D

Hello Pridelings, 

I apologize for the sparse content as of late! It's that time of  year again... you know the one... where you feel like hyperventilating at the mention of "test" or "paper due". 

Irrespective of that! I am here to give a somewhat-last-minute shout out and reminder that THIS SUNDAY (March, 25), Pride will be holding our AGM in SUB 206 from 2pm-5pm. 

We will bribe you with noms!!! So please, please, please come. Especially if you are interested in running for an Exec position for next year! (It's fun! you get a chance to meet really fun, awesome, diverse... and slightly crazy people - hi :D - and yeah!) Everyone is encouraged to come! 

Hope to see you there!

Hello pridelings, 

So it was brought to my attention... well several things have been brought to my attention: 

1) it is no longer reading week (sad face), BUT that does mean that Pride UBC is back to it's usual shenanigans. And by shenanigans I mean discussion groups.

2) Our lovely Co-chair, Abi, has told me that it would probably be a good idea to introduce myself (just so you all know who to blame for lack of updates and informal/scatter-brained writing style :P). So, I have chosen to acquiesce (but it's not really reluctant...). 

Hai! I'm Ema (a.k.a. awkward turtle... there is consensus on this title... apparently it fits), and nope I did not misspell my own name :P. I am the FLOW facilitator and a sort-of-kind-of-unofficial multimedia co-coordinator? I don't really know about that second one, I just post stuff on Tumblr, and the website main page (I leave the important website things to Aria, who is brilliant btw).

About me... I am awkward... I usually act like a 5-year old because growing up is overrated. Also! I really don't like being formal if I don't have to be, which will probably come across in my writing/posts. I am... uhhh... ok, here's the deal, I'm pretty approachable and I love questions; THE best way to get to know me is to ask me questions... about anything :). Oh, right... I am about a month and a half away from graduating with a biopsyc. major. Uhhh... how about this, if anyone wants to, you can email me questions... everything is up for grabs (so... if you have the guts to ask me, i will answer). 

I am completely serious (and if I actually get questions, please let me know if you'd be ok with me answering it on Tumblr or on here... anonymously, of course!!!). Email any/all questions to ema.salja@gmail.com :). 

Kthanxbai!
