Our mission is to utilize our resources, both intellectual and material, to effect positive social change. With a reckless disregard for hierarchy, we value humor over violence, sophistication over brutality, education over ignorance, and progressive thought over the status quo. We transgress when we can, pay taxes when we must, spend far too much on our educations, and contribute an inordinate amount of cash into the city coffers via parking tickets. Our motto: Accomplish Everything.
