Wanna hang out?

Just wanted to send a quick note to let everyone know about a round table discussion happening tomorow. (Monday Nov 30th) Its a bit short notice but if your free around @5pm come stop by KHS148. Were all in the labs this time of year so make it your coffee/dinner break, you deserve it. :) Where going to watch a 10min video on free trade & garment manufacturing to get the ball rolling and then see where the conversation takes us. We'd also like to let you guys know what kind of ideas we have for Ryerson in the coming semester and we'd love your input. If you have some time & want a bit of background info check out these articles

Don't worry if you don't read the articles, you can still come out and talk about the issues.  Bring ideas, comments, and any questions you might have.  We look forward to see you there!
