What's goin on fierceFRESHfly folks?!

So, I know it's been a while since our last post, but so much has happened! Let's take a hot minute to update.

1. Friendship Games

-Saw some familiar faces at the Cal, UCSD, and UCLA tents! Holler at Cal for taking 3rd place! KP UCSB definitely represented and took 5th place. Cal Poly SLO took SPUF (8-0-5, 8-0-5!), and I can smell victory next year...I CAN SMELL IT!!

2. Bring the Change

-In collaboration with Anakbayan LA and Filipino college students across the state, KP UCSB's Political Chair (Jakriza Cabrera) has implemented the new BRING THE CHANGE campaign. We will be collecting change (pennies, nickels, quarters, anything!) to raise funds for humanitarian relief efforts in Mindanao, Philippines. Look out for the campaign throughout the year!

what it do my fierce fresh and fly folks!!?

So if you haven't heard about FIERCE (fresh) & [fly], no worries. This is the spot to bookmark on your computer!

Today was FIERCE's first info meeting and it was a pleasure to meet new faces that have inspired me to do this type of work, especially with the people I am blessed to be surrounded with. I'm excited to see this project TAKE OFF.

I can't believe how a single word can create such a powerful acronym that brought folks together from SB to SD and from the BAY to LA all in one room!

This is one of my favorite picture taken when FIERCE had it's retreat in UCLA. Big ups UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD =)

Stay tune ya'll there's so much more to come! I'll post up the next meeting schedule on here as well as events and important information ASAP.

.FIERCE . FRESH . FLY.

ANYONE IS WELCOMED!!! AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!

WELCOME!
