Salamlar, TSAB members!

Welcome to another auspicious semester! We hope you had a wonderful break and New Years! TSAB has some exciting events lined up for this semester.

*Journal (Birlik): *To spread our message to more people, we are
establishing a student-run journal to let the campus know of Turkic events,
cultures, and news. Anyone interested in writing should send us an email
listing ideas for article topics ASAP.

*Tabling: *TSAB has bid farewell to two of our executive members this
semester for they have gone abroad for spring. This means that we have even
fewer people to table on Sproul during the hours of 11am-2pm Monday through
Friday. If you are free during this time and are interested in tabling, send
us the hours you are free.

*Movie nights: *We will be continuing our tradition of monthly, dollar movie
