  • Letter: Let's talk about bringing PIRG back

    There is no shortage of problems, or opportunities, to address in our society. We believe that it is extremely important that our campus community, particularly students, engage these issues and possess the skills and tools to have a lasting impact. Last semester, several of us found ourselves discussing how to promote and create these skills and tools and whether there was an existing student-run institution through which this work could happen.
