Happy Wednesday!

Thank you all for joining us on Monday to celebrate Hero-ween. We hope you had fun playing games, eating cookies and candy, and winning some Hero Cosmetics products! Thank you so much to our Co-Directors of Social Events Camryn and Bella for putting together such a fun meeting and Hero Cosmetics for making it happen! We also want to thank Dell Technologies for the Insomnia Cookies (here is a link to their job postings if you are interested).

As a reminder, our next meeting will be held on Monday, November 6th at 7 pm in Flavin Auditorium. We will be having our first E-Board-led meeting! Come see our historian Hannah Berry present "Defining Yourself in More Than One Box," where she will explain the importance of realizing that you do not need to define yourself as just one thing. It is going to be amazing so please join us!
