The UPLISSA had been battling against a depleted membership line-up (down to about 8 members, I think) when the majority of the membership base graduated last academic year. They bounced back this year through the efforts of Glenn, Kit, and the remaining members, with the help of recent UPLISSA alumni and the UPLISSA Alumni Board, when they launched an intensive membership drive to increase their ranks.
For those who are concerned about the welfare of the org (yes, that means you, Tyran, James and Christina), I think you have no need to worry. Things look okay, you left behind good orgmates who won't let the UPSLIS's oldest student academic org go down in smoke (but from what I've seen, if they're going down, they'd rather do so in a blaze of glory).
Ma'am Vyva Aguirre and I are the co-advisers and we were there for the GA, we'll do our darndest to help these guys out.
They've got exposure trips, academic help groups, other academic activities and bonding meets as well as several fund-raising activities lined up. One activity geared toward raising the necessary operating funds, touching base with alumni, establishing professional connections and OJT contacts is a UPLISSA Alumni Homecoming and Cocktails slated for the end of August. So if you're part of the UPLISSA alumni and you're free around that time, I'm going to make kulit you so that you'll join us then. :D
