[OPIRG-EVENTS] Radical Frosh

["kelly fritsch" <shoeless_elf@hotmail.com>]

Sorry for any cross- posting. Please forward to anyone who may be
interested.

OPIRG- Carleton is organizing an alternative to Orientation Week for this
September by implementing "Radical Frosh." As with any event, the interests
of all students cannot be met, and thus, OPIRG is developing a program that
reaches out to a group of students that are often ignored in mainstream
events.

Radical Frosh will be a week of events concentrating on social justice and
environmental issues, with a focus on anti- oppression. This orientation
program will run the first week of September. Many of the workshops will 
also be
open to the wider community. Radical Frosh provides approximately 50 
incoming
Carleton students with the opportunity to meet other students with similar
interests and explore a range of social justice issues and organizations.
Radical Frosh has a packed line-up of activities - including workshops,
radical tours of Ottawa, live music, and more.

Radical Frosh 2003 runs from August 30th - September 6th, 2003. Groups and
individuals are encouraged to contact OPIRG- Carleton if they are interested 
in putting on a workshop, contributing to our frosh bag, or would like to 
volunteer.

Volunteer Frosh leaders are needed to lead groups and help out in
workshops. There is mandatory training session which will take place during 
the week
of August 23- 28th.  (TBA) This training will include anti- oppression
training as well as a general explanation of the RadFrosh program. At this 
time, you
will be able to sign up for shifts and learn what your specific role as a
volunteer entails. Please note that to be a volunteer you do not need to be
a student!

If you are interested in volunteering, please reply to this message and
fill out the form below.  The information that you provide below will be 
kept
confidential. If you have any questions, comments or requests, please
include them at the bottom.

If you are interested in putting on a workshop please contact us!! We still
have some time slots available.

Also if you or your organization is interested in contributing to our frosh
bags, please let us know. By providing a pamphlet from your group or free
products from your store, you will be reaching students with an interest in
activism and a desire to get involved in the community!
