Speakers at Drexel During Spring Term — To the Summer!

I never got to recap a few special speakers that we hosted at Drexel University this term, so since today marks the first day of the summer term, I would like to write about their visits.

On May 12th, Student Liberty Front hosted Radley Balko at Drexel University. Balko is a former policy analyst with the Cato Institute, and now a senior editor for Reason magazine. He also is a biweekly columnist with FoxNews.com. He spoke on the drug war and police militarization in America.

On May 28th, Student Liberty Front hosted  Rep. Sam Rohrer and Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo in “The Destruction of American Federalism: A Silent Threat to American Liberty.”

Both of these events got attendees from not only Drexel, but the Philadelphia area, especially through the use of networking on www.meetup.com.

For the summer term, we are going to be planning more “fun events,” mainly movies and even South Park episodes (the creators are Libertarians) and decipher different political meanings from the films.

I am also looking into creating a SSDP and a Concealed Campus at Drexel, along with aiding Deanna Quinones with YAL.

In the Fall term, we’re hoping to get Ron Paul, so stay in touch for information!

LADY IN LIBERTY IS NOW UPGRADED TO WWW.LADYINLIBERTY.COM!  Growing more and more everyday!

So, I’ve been waiting for the pictures of our Radley Balko event to be uploaded to the internet so I can post about our Student Liberty Front event, but in the meantime, I will give an update about what’s been happening.

• On Thursday, May 28th, we have Thomas DiLaurenzo and Sam Rohrer coming to speak at Drexel University.  7:30PM in Stratton 113, to be exact.  It’s going to be a huge event, please try to make it!
• An article that I wrote in the Triangle (our school newspaper) got some attention.  Read the comments on the response article (“attention”) for more details.
• Campaign for Liberty Memorial Day Cookout sounds great, Southeastern PA chapter!
• Looking into Porc Fest and FIRE Campus Freedom Network Conference for the summer.
• I recently discovered that there is a co-op (internship) for the fall/winter at FIRE in Philadelphia — so I have applied and I am hoping for an interview!

I apologize to my readers for not updating on a daily basis, but trust me, I am not just sitting around — there is so much work to be done for Student Liberty Front that there is never a dull moment.  I just delegated the Facebook Page and the Twitter out to members to help update because there’s just no time for such busy work.  We will have a fully functioning website soon and new t-shirts are just around the corner!
