Others are welcome to help or visit. Use the comments area to volunteer for a particular time slot.
Agenda item 4: Proposed Engineering Club scholarship fund
  • Tentative criteria for the scholarship were discussed and generally approved. Next step is to clarify what logistical requirements (application form, selection committee) must be in place to get this certified by the Foundation, along with more detailed fund raising plans.

Hey this is Julia, I'm trying to get a group together monday to make posters. I was wondering what times would be best. I'm looking at either 10-11:15, or after 1:10. Let me know, and please try to attend even if just for a couple minutes. Depending on feedback we will determine a time and meeting place. thanks.

I think Stu fac ends at 1:00... If someone knows for sure and could post that would be great...

I searched the TCC web site, and the event runs from 11:00 to 1:30. "Open Mic" starts at 1:00, providing entertainment for the last half hour of the event. Corrections added to the blog.

This means we have a bit more slack in the morning, since setup does not need to be complete until 11:00.

This is Julia, due to the lack of response Sarah and I have decided to work on the posters tomorrow at my house to ensure they are finnished by Wed. If anyone would like to join we are willing to change the location back to campus and anytime after 4:30 tomorrow. If you are interested and would like to lend a hand please post back or call me at 322-6436. (be sure to leave a message I don't answer unknown numbers) and if not I hope to see you out at the booth on Wed! ;-)
