The SSA was very well received at the Carlson Center Spring Celebration of service yesterday. We presented a poster entitled “Creating Community and Invigorating the Undergraduate Experience in Sociology”.

We had visits from the vice provost/dean of undergraduate affairs; Ed Taylor, the director of the undergraduate scholarship office; Mona Pitre-Collins, and associate director of the undergraduate research program; and Jennifer Harris — among many others, including friends and family.

Marianne Goldin, Jonathan Wagner and Sophia Chang were proudly listed in the program for this presentation - though we have so many people to credit for SSA’s success this year.

If you’re on campus today, check out the SSA poster at the Carlson Center Spring Celebration of Service.

Time: Tues 5/6 4:30-6:30

Place: UW HUB - 1st Floor

Refreshments will be served!

Officers Marianne Goldin and Jonathan Wagner will be on hand to chat about the project. This year, the president Marianne Goldin received a Mary Gates Leadership scholarship for her work with the SSA.
