Happy Inauguration all!
The SSA Meeting went very well.
We had a guest speaker - Tom Tomich, who was representing the Agriculture Sustainability Institute (ASI) for short. Tom has been the ASI director for two years. Several students have representative positions on several of ASI's boards (both internal and external). We are toying with the idea of starting a student advisory committee, for more information, check out the minutes.
SSA will be hosting a film soon about the Good Humas Land Trust project. More news on that soon.
