Year-end Wrap-up


The 2008-2009 school year has been another wildly successful year for CFACT! CFACT hosted some great speakers, including New York Times best selling authors Jonah Goldberg and Dinesh D'Souza, former NASA scientist of the year Dr. Roy Spencer, and new author Adam Shepard. A river clean up, free trade vs. fair trade coffee tastings, and a solar oven demonstration were just some of the incredibly fun events CFACT did throughout the year. CFACT watched some great documentaries, including "Mine Your Own Business", "Indoctrinate U", "Expelled", and "Who Killed the Electric Car?". CFACT was also honored, being nominated for a Tony Diggs Excellence Award, and being voted "Best Student Group" through the Minnesota Daily's Grapevine Awards. We had tons of fun and are already planning for more outstanding events for the fall. Thanks to everyone who helped make this year a success! Stay tuned for future events and email oreil034@umn.edu for more information.
