The first meeting of the spring semester will be held tomorrow, 1/20, at 7:00pm. We’ll be meeting on the second floor of the Reitz, at the top of the stairs. Join us for….
-Elections! If you plan on running for any positions please have a short 2 minute speech ready to give to everyone. Positions include: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Fundraising Chair, Research Chair, Public Relations Chair, and Social Chair. As you can see there are MANY leadership opportunities available. If you would like to run but were not able to attend meetings last semester due to class conflicts please do not feel like you can not run for any of the positions mentioned. Experience outside of UAEM is valuable too! Don’t be shy we would love for you to jump right in and get involved!
-Spring semester agenda! Please bring an idea that you would like to help put into action this semester.
-Marston Library Display! We have the front case of the Marston library display so we will set a time/date for when we will construct the display.
Hope too see you there!
Our Global Health fair was quite a success! Thanks go out to RECURSO, Human Rights Awareness on Campus, Student Global AIDS Campaign, the Virology Society, and Global Empowerment for making such amazing displays- we were so glad to meet/ reconnect with you all!
