The theme for the Fall 2014 issue of RedShift is *TRANSITION*!!
We are all in a constant state of transition from the moment we are born
until the day we die. Figure out what transition means to you and then
submit traditional art, digital art, prose, poetry, photography, or written
opinion/satirical pieces to *redshift.submit at gmail.com
<redshift.submit at gmail.com>*. *The Submission deadline is October 5th.*
Submission review is on the following day at 9:00pm, so if you miss the
deadline, you still have a few more hours to submit content. Any
submissions after October 6th *may *not make it into the magazine.

RSO L.E.A.D.S. Workshop is an initiative created under the Office of
Undergraduate Student Life to provide leadership education and tools for
student success. It's essentially a three-workshop series focusing on
Recruitment & Retention, Program & Event Planning, and Collaboration &
Outreach. At least one member from each RSO has to attend two out of the
three workshops. It doesn't have to be the same person each time. The first
workshop already passed, but the next two are coming up in October and
November!

They suggested a younger member attend because the workshops teach best
practices in organizational management, and you'll be provided
opportunities (especially if you're a rising RSO leader and/or member) to
make meaningful contributions to your organization.

If anyone is interested/free please inform me or the E-board (preferably
soon) and go to the event!
*I'll be including the workshop schedule in the email attachments.*
