Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Special General Meeting on November 28th. We’re excited to share that a brand-new constitution and updated rules of order were approved. You can expect to see these available on our website in late December.

We hope to see you there! Bella SSD Office Coordinator. Events: Body Doubling Drop-in. The SSD is putting on our Body Doubling Drop-in sessions again! Our workstudy Zoe, Mia, Lucy and staff (Bella and Kai) will be hosting the sessions. Are you wondering what body doubling is? Body doubling is a productivity technique where individuals work in the presence of another person, either in person or virtually, to enhance focus and reduce procrastination. So come buy and study with other students!
