OSA Retreat 2007
Thanks to the 70 students who participated in OSA’s 2007 Retreat! At the Retreat, students began the process of brainstorming and narrowing down which issues are most important for students to work on for the 2009 Legislative Session. Students learned about who OSA is, the work we do, and the victories we won this session and heard from panelists Jim Francesconi and Preston Pulliams, both of the Oregon University System Board, and Melissa Unger, former OSA Executive Director. Students also attended skill and issue workshops and played the famous “Lobby Game” to develop their advocacy skills. Look for more photos in our photo gallery soon.
