It will be a busy year and we want to start off with a lot of energy. Hope you will join us to hear and share some ideas to bring awareness to the TA community on important environmental goals.

If you are interested in taking photos, adding video content, writing stories, or working on the technical aspects of our online platform, this is the place for you. We are looking for students who are willing to help with all aspects of creating content for our new media site. No experience is necessary to join our club, and this year we hope to interface with the groups that produce Postscripts (an alumni magazine), the Tripod (our school yearbook) and the group that supports the school's website. So many people, so many stories to tell.
