Finally an Update!

At long last someone has decided to update this blog that I set up AGES ago. In short, we at Students for Life at IIT would like to apologize for the hiatus. There are many valid reasons why we didn't update during our first full academic year of being an official organization but the main reason was we were too busy! Soon, however, with the help of a fresh exec board and the energy of incoming freshman we hope to update regularly with news about campus happenings as well as what's going on in pro-life news around the US and world.

First I'll give a run-down of all the goings-on that occurred last year, just to give you a taste of how busy we were:

Monthly Speakers
Sidewalk Counseling
Monthly Protests at the Planned Parenthood Fortress in Aurora
Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity
Face the Truth Tours (yes multiple)
40 Days for Life (multiple)
Baby Bottle Project
Students for Life of Illinois Regional Conference at Northwestern University
March for Life in Washington DC
Students for Life of America National Conference in Washington DC
Students for Life of Illinois Leadership Summits
Students for Life of Illinois Activism Days (Abortion is Bad for Women, What the FOCA, etc)
Right to Life Conference at University of Notre Dame
Pro-Life T-shirt Week
Clipboarding on Campus
Poster Campaigns on Campus

We did all of that and more in our first year as an official IIT student organization!

Here's a preview of what we have planned for the fall 2009 semester:

Welcome/Service BBQ
Monthly Movie Series (Demographic Winter and Invisible Children with a couple others)
Students for Life of Illinois Conference
Fetal Development Speaker
Stem Cell Research Speaker

Needless to say we are very excited about next year. Thanks for reading and please keep in touch! Feel free to email us or find us on facebook by searching for IIT Students for Life.
