Brandeis University's students, like Sam Vaghar and Seth Werfel among others, are featured in this great Boston Globe article on campus activism. Brandeis activism is thriving, and we're getting noticed.
Don't tell Sam Vaghar that today's generation is apathetic.

At 21, the Newton North High School graduate and senior at Brandeis University is the executive director of a growing nonprofit organization dedicated to tackling the planet's major problems. The Millennium Campus Network, which unites organizations from a number of Greater Boston schools, is entirely run by its student members.

Vaghar and Brandeis sophomore Seth Werfel, a New York City native, founded the network last August. The group is preparing for its inaugural Millennium Campus Conference to be held next weekend at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. The event has booked several notable speakers, including former senator John Edwards; R&B artist John Legend; and Ira Magaziner, who was a senior policy adviser to President Bill Clinton.
Way to go! And check out more at the website for Positive Foundations.

Mike Gravel is (STILL) speaking tonight at the Lown Auditorium in Rabb. He was scheduled to speak at 8pm, but his plane got delayed in New York. He is willing to speak with students as long as there are students willing to listen, so he will be coming at 11pm!

This event was organized by SDS, but the delays are anything but their fault. Blame the weather, or perhaps Cthulhu.
