Howdy QUEST!
The next couple of weeks are going to start getting busy again. Good thing for us is that with QUEST, busy usually means more fun. We want to remind you that our movie night is TOMORROW! Come see what Wu and Chen Auditorium is like without Powerpoint slides on the projector screens. This event is open to all, so bring your friends. And QUEST news begins...... NOW!
Wet Hot American Summer!

Wet Hot American Summer!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUEST is having a movie night! Join us in Wu and Chen Auditorium on
Tuesday, November 10th at 8pm for a special screening of “Wet Hot
American Summer”. Take a break from your busy week to watch this quirky
comedy. A synopsis is below. Food will be served.
The setting is Camp Firewood, the year 1981. It's the last day before everyone goes back to the real world, but there's still a summer's worth of unfinished business to resolve. At the center of the action is camp director Beth, who struggles to keep order while she falls in love with the local astrophysics professor. He is busy trying to save the camp from a deadly piece of NASA's Skylab which is hurtling toward earth. All that, plus: a dangerous waterfall rescue, love triangles, misfits, cool kids, and talking vegetable cans. The questions will all be resolved, of course, at the big talent show at the end of the day (IMDb).

General Body Meeting / Health Graduate Student Panel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Join QUEST on Tuesday, November 17th at 8:30pm in the LGBT Center as we have our monthly general body meeting in addition a graduate student panel. Ever wondered what life is like as an out medical, dental or veterinary student? Bring your questions and find out! Our constitution will (finally) be voted on as well. In addition, we will be having a cheese and fruit platter.

before Saturday the 14th. I have gone in the past and found that it was
a great experience to become a better leader within the community.
