Good morning everyone,    I hope you're all doing well!   I have some exciting news to share on NAMI on Campuses most recent collaboration. NAMI on Campus and FAU Thrive are excited to announce our collaboration for the 2025 NAMIWalks! This year, we’re walking together on Saturday, November 1st at John Prince Park- Eric Call Pavilion to show that mental health matters. College life can be exciting, challenging, and everything in between. That’s why we’re joining forces to take real steps toward breaking the stigma around mental health and reminding one another that no one has to go through it alone. Together, we can make a difference one step at a time.  Here’s how you can get involved: Join our FAU walk team and walk with us to support mental health awareness. Donate to our team page. Every contribution goes directly to NAMIWalks, helping fund mental health programs and advocacy across our communities. Spread the word! Invite your friends, classmates, and professors to walk or donate. Team Page Link: https://www.namiwalks.org/teams/Thrive-on-Campus-2025 Thank you for supporting FAU Thrive and NAMI on Campus. We hope to see some of you there!

We the People… Know Our Rights. Introducing OutSFL at FAU's First Amendment Issue—a full-throated defense of Our Rights. Our Voices. Our Fight to Be Heard. This month, we’re shining a light on the freedoms that make our words, protests, and presses possible. What Is the First Amendment? The Bill of Rights guarantees five core freedoms—speech, press, religion, assembly, and petition—forming the foundation of democracy. ✝️ Pray, Don’t Preach. How the separation of church and state protects personal faith and public education alike. Incitement, Threats, Defamation. Where free speech ends and real harm begins—exploring campus cases and legal limits. Daring to Publish. From underground zines to student papers, press freedom thrives when students question power. ✊ Peaceful, Not Silent. Protests, marches, and movements—the right to assemble still fuels modern activism. How We Make the Government Listen. From petitions to policy change, speaking out still moves the needle. BLISSS & Mingle. BLISSS and SG Global Programming united students for an evening of resources, community, and empowerment. ️‍ LGBTQ+ Tools That Work. PRISM’s Resource Hub connects students to testing, safer-sex tools, and LGBTQ+ rights education. OutFAU Scores Big! Seven Sunshine State Awards. Three first-place wins. Student journalism is alive, fearless, and thriving. OutFAU is hiring paid designers & contributors — join the team rewriting the script. Application is in our bio! Check out the issue on Instagram here. Read the digital issue here. 

Dozens of students and community members came out for BLISSS' 2nd Annual BLISSS & Mingle. BLISSS (BIPOC LGBTQIA+ Individuals Seeking Safe Spaces) partnered with Student Government Global Programming to host the event in the Boca Raton Student Union on Monday, October 6. In an interview, BLISSS Vice-President Tyler Doll stated the purpose of the evening was to inform students, especially queer students, “about the resources they have available to them on and off campus.” Doll went on to elaborate that it is important for students, especially LGBTQ+ students, to be “successful.” The evening offered complimentary food and drink while students were able to network with and learn about a coalition of organizations, including nonprofits PRISM, Compass LGBTQ+ Community Center, SAVE LGBT, and student organizations Lavender Alliance, College Democrats at FAU, and OutFAU. While learning about resources, participants were given a bingo card to circulate around the room, encouraging them to learn more about each person in attendance. When asked what a perfect end of the night would look like, Doll solidified that BLISSS' goal for the night was to connect students to resources. “Just to know that at least one person has walked out of BLISSS & Mingle knowing that they have gotten some new resources that they will be using to their advantage,” said Doll.

Good day! If you're reading this, you're likely a member of the Chess Club at Florida Atlantic. This is a reminder that last Wednesday, on the 20th, at 5 PM, we had our first chess club meeting. We had a very nice turnout for our first meeting, where we introduced our plans for further club development and the acquisition of necessary materials, which should be nearly fully settled! We also showed a game review of one of the most famous games in historical chess, the game of the century between Bobby Fischer and Donald Byrne, where at just 13 years old, Fisher beat the very accomplished US representative at multiple world chess olympiads, Donald Byrne. Next Wednesday, we plan to host many in-person games, along with some puzzle solving.
