Question Bridge is an innovative transmedia art project that facilitates a dialogue between a critical mass of Black men from diverse and contending backgrounds, and creates a platform for them to represent and redefine the black male identity in America.
When filming Question Bridge, the artists encountered a compelling question and answer exchange between a younger participant and an older Civil Rights Activist. The Question: “Why didn’t you leave us a blueprint?” sparked an attempt for multi-generational roundtable discussions.
Hence, the Blueprint Roundtable was born. The Invisible Men BluePrint Roundtable invites established black and latino male leaders and emerging black and latino male leaders in the local community to discuss the question of a “blueprint” in an attempt to dismantle boundaries between black and latino males across generations. The program aims to identify communication barriers and facilitate the transfer of information between men; and to isolate local issues that require leadership from the next generation and lessons learned and principles that can be passed from the older generations.

Dear Students,
The WSA will be hosting the second annual Spring Student Group Fair on Friday, February 8th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm in Beckham Hall. This fair will be an opportunity both for students to learn about and sign up for new students groups and for student groups to promote themselves to prospective members. All students are encouraged to come! Since all the groups at the fair will be open to new members, the fair will be a great opportunity to start getting involved in the community.
Due to the spatial constraints of Beckham Hall, there is limited availability for student groups, and we will not be able to accommodate every student group that wants a booth at the fair. This fair is geared towards active student groups that will offer a large role for new members in the spring semester. If you are a student group leader, in order to apply for a place in the fair, please fill out the following form (can be accessed only through Wesleyan e-mail) by Friday, February 1st at 11:59 pm:
Note that you must be either a registered student group or have filled out the student group online registration form to be eligible for a table at the fair. For information on how to register a student group and access the student group online registration form, go here: http://wsa.wesleyan.edu/groups/register/. If you feel that your student group does not need a booth at the fair, but you would like your group to be publicized in the fair brochure, please e-mail zmalter@wesleyan.edu and send one sentence about your group.
We will get back to groups by Sunday, February 3rd with a decision. Any student can attend the fair, and only student groups need to register. We look forward to seeing you at the fair!
Best, Zachary Malter, WSA President
Hey Wes!
When you were a frosh didn’t you wish you had someone to show you the ropes and walk you through getting
involved with different activities on campus? Now you can be that person for an incoming first year student
and help make their transition to college life that much easier!
The WSA in coordination with SALD is starting the Cardinal Connect: First Year Student Social Connection Program for the upcoming year. We need rising juniors and seniors to
volunteer to be paired with incoming freshmen to serve as social and extra-curricular
resources. The goal is to help freshmen get involved with life here at Wesleyan more
easily by providing a formal connection with an experienced upperclassman. You would be
expected to meet with your freshman once per month to chat and help them out. Please fill
out and submit this form by May 20th.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email me at sebb@wesleyan.edu

Dear students,
The Wesleyan Student Assembly would like to invite you to participate in a forum on the lack of late-night social activities for students that choose not to consume. We are hoping to gather some thoughts on this issue, to get some ideas for fun substance-free events, and to collect a group of people who might rather hang out together rather than consume every once in a while. Everyone is welcome to attend!
The forum will be held in the Multi-Purpose Room in Usdan (downstairs, near the mail room) at 6:15pm, Monday February 13th. PIZZA WILL BE SERVED. We hope to see you there!
-The WSA
