Official Statement from The Evergreen State College Geoduck Student Union.
Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,
As we are all aware of the outcome of the election, we need to take this time to remember the importance of standing together as a community. Now more than ever, we need to stand strong and remember how diverse our community here is and that each person has their own views and opinions on how this election went.
As your representatives, we, The Geoduck Student Union, want you to know that we will continue to be by your side, protect your rights, and be available to you if anything comes up in the future.
As a nonpartisan group, we respect the decision that the people of this nation have made and will continue to work in the best interest of the student body of The Evergreen State College. As it happens every four years, the change of the President and their administration might create changes that will affect students across the country. We will make sure that said changes will still enable you to thrive in your studies and allow you to be safe on your campuses.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.
Sincerely,
The Geoduck Student Union
