Hello improv nation!
To round out the end of the year we’ve elected new executives. Say hello to the wonderful Kurt and Shaena! Say goodbye to Ashton and Jay, may they rest in improv peace.

On a personal note, I, Jay, whom is soon to rest in improv peace, has loved every part of being your media chair for the past two years. This club is how I made the vast majority of my university friendgroup, and a big part of who I am now. This tunnel mural was a labour of love from so many in this club. The media chair previous to me attempted to get a similar design approved (see slide two) but was denied. I attempted a new design my first year of media chair but then two executives stepped down so I didn’t. This year I made a new design, applied, and eight months later got accepted. This weekend I spent 13.5 hours painting this (roughly) 2 meters by 2 meters Goliath. It was so worth it.

I thank everyone who stopped by to help out or to say hi. I hope none of you riot now that I’m gone, treat my successor well. I trust them with my life, or at least this Instagram page.

Goodbye improv nation!
