The College Republicans and the National Organization for Women at U.Va. hosted a mixer in the newly created Diversity Center in Newcomb Hall yesterday.
This event inaugurated the Mix, a Student Council initiative to bring together different groups of students.
College Republicans Chair Joe Schilling said he and NOW President Katy Shrum are mutual friends and wanted to bring their groups together.
"We though this would be a great idea to kick off the Mix," Schilling said.
The groups watched the political comedy "PCU," drank hot chocolate and ate cookies.
"We wanted to do something that would open up dialog," Schilling said.
Shrum said the effort put into the new Diversity Center warranted this activity.
"We want it to be a place with a function and get the ball rolling," Shrum said.
The mixer served as a relaxed atmosphere for the groups.
"We just want to get people into a non- confrontational atmosphere," Shrum said.
