“A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.” - Mohandas Gandhi A lot can happen in the space of a year. In this short time, we have watched as our country and our campus surge into untested territory. We have dared to dream that we can be better, that our communities can do more, and that change is not just possible, but inevitable. Now, we are faced with the unique opportunity to regroup, expand and transition our WU community into something even better than what (or who) we have been. To aid this transition, WE NEED YOU. We need you to be active, to be purposeful in bringing the idea of Green Dot to others on campus. Consider this magazine your guide to a Green Dot revolution at WU. Included, you’ll find ideas for how to help make this Green Dot launch awesome, some proactive Green Dots and resources in case you need them. As we move forward, let us remember that there is space for each of us to make a difference: “No one has to do everything, everyone has to do something”. No green dot is too small...it’s doing one in the first place that matters! I look forward to working alongside you to create an even better Willamette!

Best, Carli
