If you have a passion for human rights then come and swing by the Amnesty Curtin Stall from 11am - we will be set up in the Guild Courtyard (it's behind G-Mart near the tavern - just ask for directions from one of the friendly guild staff on campus ). Similar to last year, a "Quiet 30" will be implemented for the first half hour of the event (from 11am - 11:30am) for students who experience difficulties with access and/or heightened sensory environments, as well as those that experience anxiety as a result of large crowds and/or noise. We look forward to seeing you there!!!
