Hi all,
Just a friendly reminder that we have our LLAS meeting today from 1:30 to 2:30 via zoom (link is below and in the agenda).
As you'll see, our main item is discussing the budget for this year. I listed a few ideas that I'm reasonably confident we've done in the past and I hope you come with other ideas.
I'm also proposing an open discussion if there are issues you'd like to see LLAS address, either in the meeting or this academic year. If you aren't able to attend and have ideas, please do email me.

See you this afternoon!

Hi all,
I hope your first week is starting off well. I'm still getting settled into the liaison role and I'll ask for some patience as I get this (hopefully) figured out. As a first task, I'd like to schedule a couple of meetings for us. For the first, we will meet over zoom on September 13 at 1:30. We need to have this meeting early in the year to discuss a few items, including decisions about the LLAS budget. We have $5,000 for the year.
While I don't believe we've had a set time we've held our meetings, it seems like we have kept them on Friday afternoons. For this year, I plan to continue that trend and start each meeting at 1:30 and I'll try to keep it to one hour, respecting your time at the end of the week. I realize that some may not be able to make that time. I will send an agenda in advance so that if you are unable to make it, you may still submit any comments you have. That includes for the meeting on the 13th, where I would welcome any ideas or suggested priorities for the upcoming year.
I'll also propose that we hold a date toward the end of the semester as items for discussion will likely arise, though I do not have a specific agenda for that meeting, yet. For now, please mark your calendars for November 17 at 1:30. We may not need this meeting, but I want to make sure we have the time reserved.
Meeting dates so far:
September 13, 1:30 to 2:30 via zoom
November 17, 1:30 to 2:30 via zoom

As a final thing, we now have a listserv for LLAS that you can use to reach out to the group as a whole. You should all be able to post messages here (the email address should be included above). I'll try to use it in communicating with you all. Please feel free to reach out directly to me as well.
Best,
Trey

Hi All,
Please see the attached flyer (and Joy's message below) about a virtual event this weekend. Some of you may be familiar with Las Voces, but it's a collective of Latinx voices here in the Lincoln area. They have several prominent members, including Marty Ramirez, who have worked closely with LLAS and the Institute.
Best,
Trey

Subject: Las Voces Zoom summit this weekend
Dear Trey,
Dr. Marty Ramirez, professor emeritus and friend of the Institute and MASA, wanted the LLAS faculty members to know about this Las Voces summit this weekend in response to the possibility of the deportation of immigrants.
Would you please forward it to the LLAS listserv you created?
Many kind thanks,
Joy

I acknowledge and honor the Pawnee, Ponca, Oto-Missouria, Umonhon (Omaha), Dakota, Lakota, Arapaho, Tsististas & Suhtai (Cheyenne), and Kaw Peoples, as well as the relocated Ho-Chunk, Iowa, and Sac and Fox Peoples, upon whose homelands now reside the campuses and programs of the University of Nebraska, a land-grant institution. Let us recognize the legacies of violence, displacement, and survival that bring us here today.
