Jonathan Law’s Black Student Union is a community that aims to bring people together. The BSU promotes teamwork, social, and ethnic diversity. Advocate Staff Reporter Kruthi Nandam interview junior BSU co-founder Gemard Guery about a recent meeting where they wrote holiday cards for the homeless.

Kruthi Nandam: What homeless shelter do the cards go to?

Germard Guery: The cards are going to be given to the New Haven Housing Authority in New Haven.

KN: Approximately how many cards were made?

GG: We made about 20 cards or so.

KN: Why did you decide to make these cards?

GG: The other BSU co-founder, Ike Opayemi, and I wanted to have some kind of community service activity during this holiday season and felt that making cards for those who may not have it easy would be an amazing activity to do.  We really wanted to give back.

KN: How do you hope they feel when they get the cards?

GG: I hope they are happy to see the cards and all the effort that went into making them. Some of them came out really nice.

KN: What other activities do you have planned for the future?

GG: We are planning on having some kind of school movie night in January (around midterm season) and planning on also doing some school-wide activities for Black History Month.
