Assalamu alaikum,
Inshallah you are all doing well. MSA Shura Elections are coming up, so I have attached a document that outlines everything you need to know regarding the election process. The document is a little long, but if you plan on running for a position, or even just voting on election day, it is imperative that you read it. Here are the important dates that you should note:
Now --> Friday, April 22 (11:59 PM) : Nominations are open
Saturday --> Monday, April 25 (11:59 PM): Accept one position to run for on Election Day
Wednesday, April 27 at 8:00 in Stuart 105: Election Day (for 5 positions, no need to fill out an application)
Now --> Friday, April 29 (11:59 PM): Fill out and send an application to me for the other 6 positions
Monday, May 2 --> Friday, May 6: Interviews for applicants
Friday, May 6: New Shura assembled, inshallah
Again, please read the attached document (MSA Shura Elections 2011), after which you may start emailing me nominations (for President, MVP, FVP, Treasurer, and Secretary). The application is also attached in case you are interested in the other 6 positions (both Publicity Chairs, Social Chair, Community Service Chair, Outreach Coordinator, and Webmaster).
Thanks,
Khalid Khayr
P.S. There might have been some confusion, but nominations are currently open, and you have until Friday to email me your nominations. Also, feel free to nominate more than one person for a position.

Rohina Malik's Unveiled
Salam!
The one-woman, critically acclaimed play, Unveiled, will be in Hutch THIS Wednesday, January 26th! Join us for Rohina Malik's moving performance, and stay for some delicious Middle Eastern food!
Check out what critics have said about her show:
"Rohina Malik, the hugely talented writer-actress at the center of the Victory Gardens solo show "Unveiled," is a remarkable new theatrical voice in Chicago. In her rich, upbeat and very enjoyable 70-minute collection of five character studies of Muslim women in modern-day America, Malik gives voice to characters from whom we hear far too little in the theater." Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
A "terrific show... intellectually engrossing work of theater" -- Nina Metz, Chicago Tribune
"Unveiled offers a provocative, insightful and uplifting theater experience." Tom Witom, Pioneer Press
And lastly, please feel free to invite all of your friends, UChicago people, or non-UC people, those on facebook and those that aren't on facebook, it's an event open to the public and promises not to disappoint.
Hope to see you there! =)
