Dozens of students and community members came out for BLISSS' 2nd Annual BLISSS & Mingle. BLISSS (BIPOC LGBTQIA+ Individuals Seeking Safe Spaces) partnered with Student Government Global Programming to host the event in the Boca Raton Student Union on Monday, October 6. In an interview, BLISSS Vice-President Tyler Doll stated the purpose of the evening was to inform students, especially queer students, “about the resources they have available to them on and off campus.” Doll went on to elaborate that it is important for students, especially LGBTQ+ students, to be “successful.” The evening offered complimentary food and drink while students were able to network with and learn about a coalition of organizations, including nonprofits PRISM, Compass LGBTQ+ Community Center, SAVE LGBT, and student organizations Lavender Alliance, College Democrats at FAU, and OutFAU. While learning about resources, participants were given a bingo card to circulate around the room, encouraging them to learn more about each person in attendance. When asked what a perfect end of the night would look like, Doll solidified that BLISSS' goal for the night was to connect students to resources. “Just to know that at least one person has walked out of BLISSS & Mingle knowing that they have gotten some new resources that they will be using to their advantage,” said Doll.

Good day! If you're reading this, you're likely a member of the Chess Club at Florida Atlantic. This is a reminder that last Wednesday, on the 20th, at 5 PM, we had our first chess club meeting. We had a very nice turnout for our first meeting, where we introduced our plans for further club development and the acquisition of necessary materials, which should be nearly fully settled! We also showed a game review of one of the most famous games in historical chess, the game of the century between Bobby Fischer and Donald Byrne, where at just 13 years old, Fisher beat the very accomplished US representative at multiple world chess olympiads, Donald Byrne. Next Wednesday, we plan to host many in-person games, along with some puzzle solving.
