The Quarter's wRAPPing up! Final RAPP & RAPPORT Meetings

Last night was the final RAPPORT Meeting of fall quarter.  We'll fully wrap up the quarter with next week's RAPPORT Workshop.

Tuesday and Wednesday evenings (11/30 & 12/1) mark the end of the fall quarter for RAPP XXVI!  We've had a strong start to the RAPP year and will take time at these meetings to celebrate that.  We'll also continue to explore different dimensions of oppression.

The final RAPPORT Workshop on Monday, December 6th, will be open to current RAPP members and UC community members.  We're planning a fun and relaxing workshop that still provides a "facilitator-in-training" benefit.  We'll also kick the meeting off with dinner provided by RAPP!

Many thanks to everyone who's helped make fall quarter 2010 great!

See how friendly our RAPPORT folks are! (pic is from RAPP XXV and RAPPORT walking in the BRIDGES Walk for a Just Community)

Second Meetings = Spectacular

This week our RAPP XXV groups met for the second time. It was great coming together again and exploring issues of race at UC. We also worked on the traditional RAPP Agreement and did some good ol' pre-testing. Great work, RAPPers! Next up, retreat!
Since I didn't take pictures of them at their first meeting, here are some shots of the Wednesday group in action at their second meeting.

Shots from our First Meeting

RAPP XXV is finally underway! Our Tuesday group had their first meeting last night. Despite the many illnesses out there, most of our group was able to come together and spend some time getting to know each other and exploring some interesting questions on communication and the nature of racism.

A few pics from the night:
