Consciousness of the world around us is an invaluable skill for whatever career field students pursue. The goals of TEDI are to develop students' critical consciousness of social justice and equity minded leadership, and to build a network of inclusive, equity minded student leaders on campus. The program consists of a retreat, with four follow-up programs, workshops, or events selected by the participant to supplement learning. TEDI is co-presented by UCSD Associated Students.

EDITORIAL Friends Cutting the Calendar Forever or Taking a week out of Winter Break is not the solution. Friends Until June?

Rhyme or reason hilary lee [email protected]

ast Sunday, as I clinked glasses of sparkling wine with my roommate over unpronounce- Lable Italian delicacies, I came to a somber realization: The two of us would be going our separate ways after graduation in six months, and this dinner marked the end of our four-years-running Restaurant Week tradition. Next year, there would be no more pretending to know which utensil was the “appetizer fork,” no more toning down our colorful vocabulary in the presence of respectable La Jollans (and their horribly pretentious children) and certainly no more receiving harried texts from our mothers demanding an explanation of the not-so-Rigoberto’s charge on our cards. Inevitably, as the email solicitations for graduate portraits become more frequent, I will encounter many more “lasts” with the friend I’ve shared laughs with since moving in freshman year.
