Americas Foundation) has officially been chartered by the SBCC Associated
Student Government. This was the last integral step in the foundation of the
overarching club. The chapter has decided to announce its plan for the
remainder of spring semester, as well as the plan moving into the fall of 2019.
The club did not want to initially go public due to the extreme outrage
surrounding SBCC, out of fear that it would cloud the true intentions of the
club. We felt that our goal wasn’t to be a club dedicated to getting into
outrage culture, and thus waited for things to pass in order to ensure
integrity was kept.
The club is
now hosting official meetings at SBCC in room IDC 206. This is important since
it is the only outwardly conservative club at SBCC, in comparison to the five
clubs that have taken outwardly liberal stances. We seek to foster a diversity
of ideas that is not seen throughout campus. The club is expecting a decent
showing and has put over 20 posters up throughout campus, as well as posting
public announcements on all social media platforms.
As for
speakers and events planned, SBCC YAF has one main three-part lecture series
planned for fall 2019, and will add individual lectures throughout the year. Planned
are:
