Subject: Community Outreach Team

Hello there,

I have completed the application form for the Community Outreach Team for 
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, & Transgender Life.  It has been posted on UVM 
TODAY (I've already received my first application from a staff member in 
response).  It will also be: posted in the next edition of the Record, 
distributed to members of Residential Life (RA's, graduate, and full-time 
staff); posted in Res Life publications to go to RA's and students in the 
halls; I will leave some (along with publicity) at each Residence Hall Main 
desk, OMA, GLBA, OSSJ, Women's Center.  Larry said he would  announce 
and distribute applications  at an upcoming  Staff Council meeting 
(Jean Held has offered to do the same with the Faculty Senate and Kita 
with the Student Senate). 

Please pass this email to any distribution lists you are a part of, as 
well as friends and colleagues you think would be interested. Don't 
forget to fill one out for yourself if you are interested and able. 

Thanks,

Laura
