 What we're working on this semester:
Campus Climate Challenge:
Stop complaining
about global warming and start solving it! Join thousands of other
students across the country fighting the problem, right here on campus
and also state and nationwide. We're fighting to make Worcester's
campus greener, trying to enact a recycling program, and raising
awareness about global warming solutions on campus. Come get involved!

Hunger and Homelessness:
We're the richest country in the world, but 33 million people are still
going hungry every year - it's absurd. We're working to solve the
problem here in Worcester, raising awareness about the issues, and then
also doing our part with service in the community. This semester's big
event is Hunger Awareness week, which is hoping to raise money and
highlight the needy in our community.

Textbook and College Affordability:
Students
are graduating with more and more debt - and paying an average of $900
a year for textbooks. Come help us end textbook publisher ripoffs!!
Our bill is poised to pass in the legislature, but we need to involved
professors to make textbooks cheaper. Help us make higher education
affordable for everyone!
