Meeting 05.18.10 – Election

May 20

Posted by Jamie in DFS News, Events, Minutes | No Comments

DFS has been pretty quiet this term since many of the officers are wrestling with senior projects and BS/MS, but we’re hoping to have a strong second year next year lead by our new officers, elected at the May 18th meeting (which just happened to coincide with primary elections):

  • President: Aleicia Shanti Phulwani
  • Vice President: Tausif Ahmed
  • Treasurer: Jamie Thomson

The position of secretary remains vacant. If anyone is interested, get in touch with any of this year or next year’s officers. The official switch will be at the end of this term.

In related news, we have received operational funds from SAFAC for next year, so we will be able to have food at meetings starting in the fall!

Speaking of food, we are planning a BYOF (bring your own food/freethoughts) picnic on June 10 from 12-2pm outside Creese as an alternative to the Interfaith Baccalaureate Luncheon for anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable attending that religious gathering. Whether you’re a graduating senior or just want to share your well-wishes and reflective thoughts about education (or anything else), join us and bring a dish to share. (Desserts have been spoken for by a couple people, so we’re looking for any other lunch dishes :) ) RSVP on Facebook.

Welcome to the DFS on the web!

Dec 18

Posted by Justin in DFS News | No Comments


Justin Gero, president of the DFS.

Hello freethinker!

Welcome to the Drexel Freethought Society’s new website! The Drexel Freethought Society (DFS) is the secular student organization at Drexel University. Founded in the fall of 2009, the DFS provides a community for the university’s atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, and freethinkers.

We have built this website to allow us to do several things. First, we want to spread understanding of Freethought philosophy, and the people that have shaped these ideas. In addition to this, we want you to understand the DFS Mission, and how the DFS is working to promote science, logic, and reason.

For DFS members, we want you to have access to our Constitution, and stay connected to the group with our Events Calendar. We hope this site allows you to stay up-to-date on DFS news and stay involved with the group. The DFS officers are planning some great events for the winter term and we hope to see all 60 members there! And in case you couldn’t make one of our events, visit the Photos page to catch-up on what you missed.

If you have any comments about our website, would like to join or contribute to our organization please email us at . We also hope that you will join our group on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and visit our affiliate organizations the Secular Student Alliance and the Center For Inquiry.

Thank you for visiting the Drexel Freethought Society on the web!

Justin
President
Drexel Freethought Society
