Graphic designer DJ has been busily working on a barn sign and other fliers to kick off Fall quarter! Did you know that for many years, from the moment queer students drove onto campus, they have been greeted with a big ol' queer welcome in the form of a super-size painting on the Barn? To view our past Barn signs and themes, visit the Cantu's homepage. This week Director Deb has been working on getting a graduate student position in place. This student will work at the Cantu for the next 2 years! Many thanks to the SFAC student committee for their support! Interested grad students? Contact Deb.
