GSA

 I'm Sarah, and I'm part of the freshman class at iPoly. When I came here, like any other freshman, I took a good look at all of the different clubs. So, I'm here to tell you a little bit about the GSA here at iPoly! =]



 I-Poly's Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) meets every Wednesday at lunch in Levy's room, but the workshops are only held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month. We are led by our president, Cynthia, who's a sophomore, our vice president, Emily, also a sophomore, and a whole board full of other people.

The main goal of the GSA is to raise awareness and stop oppression toward the LGBTQ community-that is, the community made up of people who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Questioning- along with racism, sexism, and other prejudicial discrimination.



Daniel Flores, Rika Navarro, and Melanie Mendoza started the GSA during the second half of the 2007-2008 school year, as seniors, and ended up being awarded at the 2008 Cal Poly Pomona Lavender Grad Ceremony. The GSA is full of awesome people, looking to make the community a better place to live by stopping the oppression toward a whole selection of social minorities. It's a cool place to hang out, so I encourage everyone to come into a meeting, any Wednesday, and just see what we're all about. !
