Hailing from Berkley, California, Lia Mezzio has joined the Evergreen community as the new Campus Organizer to help continue WashPIRG's important work. With the snow of a few weeks ago welcoming her, Mezzio has been very busy putting together a team for WashPIRG's current campaigns.

Campus Dining Services has implemented several changes over winter break.
Students celebrated the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday, January 16 in the snow on Red Square. The snowball fights seemed to be mostly friendly fire.
Some students who attended The Evergreen State College last year might remember an event that was sponsored by the Women's Resource Center called Porn Week. Porn Week was a week long event that included things such as workshops and question-and-answer sessions that aimed to promote sex positivity. Unfortunately, Porn Week will not be held this school year.

We asked students at the winter academic fair what they are looking foreward to for the winter quarter.
The Evergreen Street Surfers is a group for anyone with four wheels and a piece of wood. The concept is simple, get people together to go ride. And through this process, bring people of all skill levels together to share knowledge, advice, gear, and resources. The club is new, and still unofficial, but will soon be applying to become a registered student organization. The group meets on red square Wednesdays at 1. If you have an interest in longboards or skateboards and are in the market for people to ride with, come check it out.
I sat down with Ian Campbell of the Center for Community Based Learning and Action (CCBLA) to talk about a little-known resource on campus. The CCBLA has been working to connect students with volunteer opportunities since 2004.
So what exactly is the CCBLA and what do you guys do here?
The CPJ wants to know!
Do you believe the campus was once meant to be a prison? Do you believe Will Ferrell lives in the woods? Do you believe there are laxatives in the Greenery food?
Have you heard of the mystical place called Happyland on campus?

Laughter Yoga is coming to Evergreen!
Laughter has shown again and again in studies to be extremely good for people. It has been proven to express and relieve stress as well as provide a myriad of physiological and emotional benefits. What Laughter Yoga does is channel this into a structured environment with others where bonding and hilarity will ensue. More and more, Laughter Yoga has become a new device used in offices, retirement homes and birthday parties for stress management and fun.
