The SED GSA is hosting an Election Reflection on Tuesday November 15th at 7pm in SED room 423. Students will come together in a safe space to bring forth their own thoughts and emotions in discussing the implications of the election results. All students are welcome, no RSVP is needed. It would be great if this event could be added to the list of events/conversations be hosted across the BU campus.
