[Jewonthis] Various Announcements

[Aizenberg, Tamar]

Hi Everyone,

I'm writing with some announcements about WCJA events this week and some
MinCo-related information I was asked to pass along:

1. In observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day on Thursday, April 12, WCJA
will be organizing the reading of names of those who perished in the
Holocaust from 11am-3pm on Paresky steps. If you are interested, you may
sign up to read names for half an hour at this link
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ij15mZOyuMAVNJ3Ma-Q7StkBoobvXNm1QptgVFuWBhE/edit?usp=sharing>.
There will also be other programming occurring at the same time, including
memorial candles available for lighting and informational signs.

2. On Thursday, April 12 at 7:30 pm, Urooj Arshad, the Director of
International LGBTQ Youth Health and Rights Programs at Advocates for Youth
will be giving a talk entitled *Invisibility and Visibility: Queer Muslim
Identity in the United States. *Arshad is an expert on the intersection of
Islamophobia and homophobia/transphobia, as well as reproductive justice in
the global south. This event is sponsored by: Minority Coalition Steering
Board, Feminist Collective, Muslim Student Union, Davis Center, and Dively
Committee. There will also be free pizza and a Doddrich tab!

3. The MinCo steering board is accepting self-noms for the 2018-19 board.
The self-noms are due on April 12  to the current MinCo co-chairs, Amina
Awad (ama4 at williams.edu) and Zeke Phillips (ejk2 at williams.edu). The
following positions are open:

Minority Coalition General Committee (GenCom), encouraging  MinCo affinity
group collaboration, keeping open lines of communication with members of
other student organizations and faculty/staff in the administration, and
acting as a liaison between the Minority Coalition, the Davis Center, and
the dean of students. *Students may run as a pair (highly recommended) or
individually (students elected individually must serve as a single chair).*

As secretary, your responsibility is to maintain organizational structure
and record institutional memory, which includes doing roll-call and taking
