At the GPC meeting last night Nancy Twilley and Anna Warbelow presented the OUTGrads charter and put the group up for formal approval; it was voted on and given the rubber stamp. This means that we're now an official group! Thanks to everyone who has supported the group and come to the events. This wouldn't be possible without folks to come out and drink discount martinis and discuss LGBT issues over Anna's cookies at the brown bags.

Sucessful Happy Hour!
