Sociology 2017 Newsletter

SOCIOLOGY NEWSLETTER | Issue #2 3 “Tocatch the reader'sattention,placean interesting sentenceorquote from the storyhere.” A Message from the Sociology Club Throughout the academic year, we have sought to make a difference in our community. We contributed time and effort to supporting the Wings of Hope, a nonprofit organization that helps the homeless in Stillwater. To help the ones that are most in need, we gathered donations from stores and a hotel to help with supplies as well as making some food. We also acknowledge that this world has inequality that we must address. To learn more we watched a movie portraying profiling. We wish to make an impact in the future by standing for what’s right. It is said that fighting for what is right is not easy, but will always be rewarding. We can reduce inequality and change policies to better support the unfortunate. As time passes, issues are only becoming more and more appar‐ ent to us student sociologists. For that reason, it is the club’s civic duty to give other students the opportunity to make a difference. With the help of the Sociology Department, we are here to educate, learn, and put into action what we recognize is right for our society. We all learn from studying society and from one another. We are very grateful for the help that OSU Alumni have given to the Sociology Department as well. Earlier this spring, the Sociology Club hosted a department mixer at Mojo’s Rock ‘n’ Bowl Grill. Thanks to all the students, faculty, and staff who participated!
