Description:	Make It Bright is an organization aimed to directly support the orphans of San Mauricio in Bogota, Colombia. As our mission statement says: MAKE IT BRIGHT is a University of Rhode Island student-driven group working in tandem with the "Share the Light" project. "Share the Light" was established in 2004 to provide direct support to the orphans of San Mauricio in Bogotá, Colombia. San Mauricio houses orphaned children who were either abandoned by their parents, adjudicated dependent because of their parent's incarceration or because of the civil war. San Mauricio is an amazing foundation that provides the food, shelter and the health care for these children that they otherwise would not have. There are many volunteers who dedicate their time to these children who, without them, would have no one else to depend on. But still, the foundation cannot afford to meet all of the children's needs. These children only own very little second hand clothing and toys. For the last six years, "Share the Light" has purchased clothing and shoes for all of these children and presented them at a holiday party in December. Each child is given a pair of shoes or sneakers, a package of socks, underwear, a tee shirt, a shirt, a pair of jeans and a sweat-outfit and a small toy or doll. It is estimated that the cost of purchasing these items for the children at a discount department store is approximately $100 per child. MAKE IT BRIGHT is working to support this same cause. Now it is our turn. MAKE IT BRIGHT is an organization aimed at the Millennial generation to start making a difference. What better way is there than to brighten the future of those less fortunate than us? Our hope is to help these children of San Mauricio have better childhoods, but why stop there? This could be the start to something big, something that is world-wide. With your help we can help Colombia, then the United States, and then who knows? We are the millennial generation; a world of change is at our fingertips

Since 1987, SLU has been an outlet for professional development and personal growth to its members and serving constituents.

Thus, proving to colleges and communities that women of color can make a difference. Sigma Lambda Upsilon has a passion for leading and developing underprivileged communities through the Sorority's goals of academic excellence, leadership, sisterhood, cultural enrichment, and service to the community and campus. It is evident that the Sorority's undergraduate and Graduate/Professional chapters challenge the status quo through programming initiatives that are both exemplary and unique. Sigma Lambda Upsilon's impenetrable bond and relentless commitment to one another transcends time, which is why the Sorority considers their sisterhood-Hermandad- lasting Hasta La Muerte!

Description:	"THE IRON CAGE HOME-PAGE" The Iron Cage Society (Sociology Club) Welcome, The University of Rhode Island's Sociology Club invites and encourages those pursuing degrees in sociology, as well as anyone interested in topics and current issues concerning sociology, to get involved and help facilitate social progress from a personal, innovative, and enlightening approach. Why The Iron Cage Society? "[T]he care for external goods should only lie on the shoulders of the 'saint like a light cloak', which can be thrown aside at any moment. But fate decreed that the cloak should become an iron cage" - Max Weber The sociological conception of the Iron Cage, constructed by Max Weber, refers to the constricting societal systems we have perpetuated as a modern civilization. These social systems play a major role in how the characteristics of individuals and communities are shaped. The Iron Cage Society is devoted to creating and sustaining a stable, supportive, and equal student community structure. Consider it our very own iron cage. Through the reinforcement of already present social positives, as well as through facilitating new forms of social stability, our mission is to create and perpetuate social progress for those "who will live in that iron cage in the future." So don't miss this opportunity to have an active voice in building the iron cage of tomorrow. Whether it is through community service efforts, networking with other on campus organizations, or from the insight gained by guest speakers and group discussions; The Iron Cage Society acts as a catalyst for personal, professional, and communal growth.
