In a unique opportunity for students looking to add extracurriculars to their resume, or for anyone hoping to make a difference, the Campus Antiwar Network NIU chapter has announced openings for officers for the 2009-10 school year, including chapter President.

“If you are interested in being CAN president next year...we can meet,” according to current President Mariel Mentink. If the meeting goes well and the organization approves, Mentink added, “I’ll share my contacts and knowledge.”

Known for their successful rallies and ‘Drop Beats, Not Bombs,’ the Campus Antiwar Network tries to bring the social aspect back into social activism, bolstering their messages with the fun sort of gatherings that will entice the uninitiated into service.

Unfortunately for C.A.N., however, many of their most dedicated members will be graduating in just a few short weeks, leaving gaping holes in their roster.

“This is something that should be taken care of soon if C.A.N. is going to live on at NIU for another year,” Mentink said.

“Please let me know if you or someone you know are interested in the jobs.”
