| =Students for Social Action=
| | Unlike many of the other groups on campus, there are a few organizations that aim to deal with multiple social action issues like race, class, and gender. Their goal is to create a space where students can discuss these and other issues in a safe place. Ultimately, they hope to affect change on the campus, in the community, and in some cases the world. |
