Quick Announcements

Next Meeting!!!! Oct. 10 and the 16th

So we're going to try something out this month to try and get more of you involved and informed. We're having two meetings, one on Friday Oct. 10th and the other on Thursday Oct. 16th. We're also extending the time of the meeting so that you feel more free to come and go as you are able. So the meetings are going to start at 5pm and go until about 5:50pm in the GSLIS Lounge. As always we will provide food and drink for you. These meetings are covering the same material, so don't feel pressured to come to both. We hope to see you!
