A final note...

Hi everyone!

Following Professor Anderson's message, I just wanted to extend my thanks to all of you--everyone involved with SOUL--for your participation and excitement this past semester. In a very real way, SOUL could not have been the success that it was without you.

As the community that has developed from the remnants (the rubble? the ashes?) of AEM (The Association of English Majors), we have good reason to be proud of ourselves. We've made something vital out of an idea that had essentially died. In doing so, I think we've moved in a significant way towards the creation of an English Major (and literature lovers) community. Every event we held this semester stands for an event we DIDN'T hold last semester, and hopefully we can expand upon this success in the coming semester and in the coming years.

We had planned two final events this semester--a student/faculty
get-together and a movie night (during which we'd show Wonder Boys)--but have postponed these events. At the tail end of the semester, stress is high and energy is low. We didn't want to fill your calendars (or ours) with events few would be likely to attend.

This said, we'll kick off the next semester with these and other fun
events, so look for our emails and keep checking our site. Best of luck on your finals!

Sarah Bull
