Daily Bark Friday, April 12, 2024

Today is the Day of Silence. Started in the 90s by two college students, the Day of Silence began as a day to recognize the harassment and discrimination of LGBTQ students. This day has grown to be a nationally recognized student-led protest for the rights of the LGBTQ community, especially students. More than 800 anti-LGBTQ bills were introduced last year, making the Day of Silence more important than ever. Join GSA and the worldwide LGBTQ community in remaining silent today to show your solidarity. 

Good morning, Bulldogs.  Don’t forget… tomorrow morning is Community Service Day from 9 am until noon. Meet over in Riverside’s Guthrie Park (near the Library), be ready to get dirty, and bring your water bottle. You’ll earn service hours and make a big impact on our local parks!
