7 Days And Counting

With only 7 days of classes to go this semester is almost done. Can you list everything you have to do on one hand?

One thing sophomores need to take care of is that pesky required end of semester meeting with me. We need to get this meeting out of the way before reading day. Please schedule your appointment using Scholar.  

This Friday the MSE Sophomores will present their posters “What is MSE” as part of the MSE 2884 Professional Development class. Please stop by Collegiate Square Conference Room on Friday, December 05, 2014 to show your support. Refreshments will be served. Poster Sessions are as follows:

Poster Session 1 1:30-1:55  

Poster Session 2  2:00-2:25 

Poster Session 3  2:30-2:55  

Poster Session 4 3:00-3:25  

Please dig through your e-mail and respond to the E-vite and indicate "yes" you are coming to the Annual MSE Holiday Pot-Luck, on December 11. Please don’t shy away because you burn water! You don’t want to miss the silent auction.

In the coming months MEPS members (you) will be voting on the new board members. In an effort to familiarize everyone with the various tasks of the board members I will highlight the various rolls from time to time.

Cameron Crowell (MSE Senior) is the current MEPS Professional Coordinator. His responsibilities include keep existing relationships going between MEPS and companies as well as starting new relationships. This includes searching for and communicating with companies who would like to present to MSE students at the monthly meetings or any other time. Care must be taken to find companies that suit the many interests of students in the department. It is a good position to be in if you would like company contacts for many different companies.
