New Staff At OPIRG Brock

OPIRG Brock welcomes Julia Kerr as the new Organization, Research and Volunteer Coordinator, as Jen Coorsh finishes up her time with us. Please come and introduce yourself to Julia at the campus resource office in the Student Alumni Building, room 204, come the new year.

Julia comes to us from London Ontario, where she recently finished her MA in Women Studies and Feminist Research. With a strong background in the student movement and community activism, Julia is excited to begin organizing in St. Catharines. Julia's activist street cred! include coordinating the Women's Issues Network at UWO, over three years of membership with London's organic food co-operative, a long history of volunteerism with Oxfam Canada and great enthusiasm for grassroots radio.

Her current interests revolve around theories of participatory economics and society, the young Canadian feminist movement and provincial solidarity and community building.

As for Jen, she is wrapping up her BA in environmental studies and human geography and has hopes of moving to montreal come the spring. We will miss her greatly, but thankfully will still see her often at the resource centre and at OPIRG events.

Hope everyone is well, and enjoying a safe and pleasurable holiday
