Monday Movies @ UR Pride
UR Pride is currently seeking a volunteer to facilitate our weekly movie nights this coming September/October. The movie nights will take place on Mondays at 6:00p.m. with a discussion to follow. This individual will be expected to set up the projector and sound as well as create and submit a schedule of films that will be shown for advertising purposes through U
R Pride. Films can be chosen from the UR Pride Resource Library, the Archer Library or your personal collection (pending approval).
Perks that come along with volunteering for UR Pride are: a free UR Pride tshirt, free coffee or tea during movie nights and a free ticket to a UR Pride event of your choice this coming year!
