Sigma Lambda Upsilon, a GVSU sorority, is sponsoring a voter registration drive Monday, Sept. 19 from 10 a m. to noon in the lobby of the Kirkhof Center on the Allendale Campus. A table will be set up with all materials needed to al­ low students to register to vote in the election. Students registering must be at least 18 years old and provide valid identification.

A 45-minute meditation session with Dilsworth will be held Monday, Sept. 19 from noon until 1 p.m. in Kirkhof Center Room 2215.
