The Great Issues Committee has created a new campaign for campus unity:

Do you want to take a stand against injustice and help to spread the message of respect, inclusion, multiculturalism, and social justice? Join the Saint Louis University community in the “We are ALL Billikens” campaign, sponsored by the Great Issues Committee. SLU students, faculty, staff, and administrators have the opportunity to receive a free wristband stating the slogan. By wearing it, you will demonstrate that we are ALL Billikens regardless of race, religion, gender, age, ability, political affiliation, sexual orientation, and culture. By making a commitment to diversity and the Saint Louis University community, you can make a difference. Look for members of the Great Issues Committee and other student organizations as well as administrators handing out wristbands around campus and at SLU events.

You can find a Great Issues Committee table this week outside of ABP. Wristbands will always be available in the Student Involvement Center, BSC 319.
