Upcoming Dates

Weekly Workshop (Wednesday, March 9 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the 18th Avenue Library Room 350A): Join us to discuss Wikipedia, learn how to edit, and contribute together. All experience levels are welcome! We'll have pizza, drinks, and goodies. At this workshop, we'll be discussing last Saturday's Art+Feminism Edit-A-Thon and electing our President and Vice President.

This last weekend's Art+Feminism Edit-A-Thon went great! A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped organize the event. We had a great turnout, which included club members, new students, and Ohio State faculty. We had many first-time editors, and together we managed to create 6 new article, improve 28 articles, and upload 2 images! Check out the full list of contributions and photos from the event. To those who participated on Saturday, you should have received an email with a link to a post-event survey; if you take a couple minutes to fill it out, you'll be entered for a chance to win a $5 Amazon giftcard!
At tonight's workshop, we'll be electing our President and Vice President. Once elected, remaining club members can declare their candidacy for Treasurer and Board of Trustees (either in-person at the Workshop, or by emailing the President). The President and Vice President will then choose a Treasurer, followed by the President, Vice President, and Treasurer selecting the Board of Trustees.

Shout-out to Rimmel.Edits, Shftin2gear, AddisWang, and Bampirequeen for helping to organize the event, along with our club's faculty advisors and Ohio State library staff: Joshua Sadvari, Brian Leaf, Beth Black, and James C. Gibson.
