TODAY! 

Our PSU colleagues are currently in their fourth semester of bargaining, and it looks like their negotiations will come to an impasse. UMB cannot function without our staff, and they need our support. Please join their rally today from 12:00-1:00pm on the quad outside of Quinn. 

This week’s Point is written by Jessica Holden, Associate University Archivist for Research Services. As always, The Point represents the views of the author and is not the official position of the FSU.
