If you buy them through the SSA, it will enable us to table at the event and get the word out there about SSA! E-mail Sophia at sophia.a.chang@gmail.com if you’re interested.
Sociology Undergraduate Symposium
The inaugural Sociology Undergraduate Symposium will take place on Wednesday, May 20 in the HUB West Ballroom from 3:30PM to 6:30PM. Sociology undergraduate students’ work will be on display in the form of a poster or presentation on their research and practica experience. Come to network with students, faculty, staff, and alumni; learn more about Sociology; get ideas for next year’s symposium; and support your fellow undergraduates! Please go to our website for more information.
SSA Officer Elections
Please elect your officers for next year via our survey. It will end tomorrow morning at 8AM. It is vital that you vote because these officers will set the tone and priorities for SSA next year. Voice your opinion now!
The first meeting of Spring Quarter will be on Monday, March 30 in HUB 110 at 5pm! We will be planning our events for the quarter and decide on what events that we should have this quarter. We are also looking for officers next year, so if you’re interested, start coming to meetings. :) Hope to see you there!
This Thursday, February 5th, we’ll be having our general meeting for all members in HUB 304D at 5:30pm. We’ll be talking about our facebook group and events, such as the Soc Cinema with the Northwest Film Forum and Sociology Undergraduate Symposium. We hope to see you there!

pressrelease
The Sociology Student Association is proud to announce…
SSA Freeloader Café
Official Grand Opening next Monday 3/4/08 – with Donuts!
When? Monday March 3, 8am-4pm – and all day every Monday this school year when class is in session
Where? Condon 2nd Floor – outside the Sociology Advising Office 223J
What? Coffee, hot cocoa, apple cider, and snacks
Why? Because there is no coffee in Condon! Also to force otherwise shy or reclusive students, grad students, faculty and staff to say Hi to each other. And to share your favorite Sociologic theories. But more on that in a moment.
We’ve had lots of folks ask us to start a café, and being suckers for public opinion, we’ve done it. We think this will be a nice service for all folks who come through Condon, and we’d love to see people chatting and making new friends in the department.
Speaking of Sociology…Freeloader café would like to feature a different Sociology theory every week – kind of like how Sesame Street is brought to you by a different letter of the alphabet every time, remember? Send your suggestions to: socassoc@u.washington.edu. We are named after the Second Order Free Rider problem, after all…
How? Suggested donation of 50 Cents per item helps us to defray our costs!
All run by hardworking Sociology Student Association officers, members, and funds. Don’t be a free rider.
After a successful trial run this week, we are proud to announce that SSA Café will launch next week, the first Monday in March.
For our grand opening, we’ll even have donuts! Let us know what you’d like to see served here (within reason of course – email socassoc@u.washington.edu).
