Dear Fellow Ephs,<\/p>\n
Happy Halloween! We hope you’ve had a great fall so far and got a chance to play in the snow over the weekend! With only six weeks left in the semester, we really want to encourage you to take some time to get outside and enjoy the rest of the fall and the beginning of the winter!<\/p>\n
We are writing to update you on the projects that College Council has been working on this month. As always, we would love to hear from you about projects that you’d like to help with or suggestions for things you think we should be working on. Thanks a lot!<\/p>\n
All the best,<\/p>\n
