My blog,
Atheist Revolution, focuses on breaking free from irrational belief and opposing Christian extremism in America. Content emphasizes promoting the atheist movement (i.e., atheism, reason, science, critical thinking, etc.) and exposing the realities of Christian extremism in the United States. In addition, I regularly address progressive politics and offer tips to atheist bloggers for increasing traffic to their blogs.

I wonder if you could let your members know that tickets for the convention are now available online at the Convention website. We are expecting nearly 3,000 delegates, so this convention is going to be huge.
Confirmed speakers include: Richard Dawkins, AC Grayling, PZ Myers, Dan Barker, Peter Singer, Taslima Nasrin and many more.
Anything you can do to help us get the word out would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think I've met another atheist at my school yet (of course, I'm sure some of them are closeted), though I've heard of some (phrasing it like that makes it seem like we are a rare and endangered species...).
You write about offering some form of haven to atheist students on your campus. I wonder whether it might be possible to organize a secular humanist champlaincy that might complement the religious organizations that no doubt have representation on your campus. The only one I know of is Greg Epstein's, at Harvard--but his work there is encouraging. He might be a resource for you.
My daughter, who is a sophomore at Yale, has made some headway there in moving toward organizing a university-sponsored (and -funded) organization, but the freethinking community on college campuses tends to be fragmented among many informal organizations. I can be difficult to bring them together. They need a champion in the administration...
Best,
Don
