Hey all,

Hope your years have been off to a great start. In case you haven't heard, I'm Osita Nwanevu and I'll be leading the Progressive Party with Mickey Desruisseaux. I'm really excited about what the UCPU has in store for us this year and particularly excited about next week's debate.

To kick things off, we'll be having a preliminary and very informal meeting today at 2 PM in Hutch Commons. Pizza from Dominos' deal of a lifetime will be provided.

If anyone wants to meet up to talk shop one-on-one before the debate, I'll be holding "office hours" at 8 PM Tuesday and Wednesday, location TBD.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Best,
Osita

Hey Progressives!
Don't forget we have a debate this Wednesday at 7 pm: "Resolved: Corporate Greed is Good." In the meantime, check this website out; it's got some great articles and thought-pieces (thankfully not from thought leaders).
