Civic Media Center to begin 'Radical Rush' week at UF

Rush week is over, but not for the Civic Media Center.

Wednesday through Friday, the CMC will hold its biannual "Radical Rush" on the Plaza of the Americas from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

CMC coordinator James Schmidt described the event as a "drive for progressive activist groups on campus."

Radical Rush targets any student interested in progressive or radical organizations for social change, social justice or environmental protection.

Schmidt said the event is open to any student.

"Whether or not one is interested in joining a group, it's a way to let students know about activities," Schmidt said. "It's about getting the word out on what's going on around campus."

The rush process will end with a Friday night social at the Presbyterian and Disciples of Christ Student Center at 7 p.m. A donation of $5 is requested, but Schmidt said they won't turn anyone away.

Sherry Wolf, a gay rights activist and author, will be at the student center to talk about the upcoming National Equality March in Washington, D.C., in October. She will also be promoting a book she has recently written about LGBT issues.

The Civic Media Center is located at 433 S Main St.
