This coming Monday the 11th, we have a CIA representative coming to talk about computer security and whatnot. It will be from 4-5pm in SEO 1000. Secondly, there will be a Microsoft representative coming to do a workshop, the date will either be March 20th or 21st, I am working it out with him right now but keep an eye out for more details. Lastly, our Spring Break LAN Party is this month. Spring Break is officially 3/25-3/29, with our LAN party beginning Friday the 22nd at night. There should be people hanging around through the week (I expect to be here just about each day) and we will be playing games and hanging out and whatnot. At the end of the week I'd like to do a quick cleanup of the office and reorganize anything that gets displaced. Any questions just let me know. See you all at the meeting on Monday! -- Tom Phillips -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please take the time to read this email, it contains extremely important information. Elections are going to be held Thursday, April 18th, 5:30pm in SEO 1000. What you need to know: - We will be electing a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer, and Secretary. - If you want to run, start thinking of WHY you deserve the position you run for and how you being elected will help ACM. - This one is more a personal preference, but try to avoid "well I hang around a lot... I figured I should do something." It sounds bad. We want to hear what you have done for ACM and how you have been involved. It doesn't need to be MUCH, but PLEASE have something. - MEMBERS CAN ONLY VOTE!!! If you have not paid your membership dues, you can still pay up until we begin elections and a few minutes will be set aside in order to do that. The fee will still be $10, no exceptions. - I wouldn't expect food at this meeting. We want people to show up and be serious about the future of ACM, not come and get a free meal and walk away not caring about anything else. Additionally, I would like to add one more process to our usual elections. For those of you interested in running, or maybe not want to run for a higher position because you aren't ready for those responsibilities yet, we will be forming committees for next year. Ideally someone will speak up about which committee they would like to be involved in and whether or not they want to be committee head. This is a good opportunity for those of you who run for an officer position but don't end up getting it, you can immediately jump into something that will help ACM greatly. Lastly, I think SIGs might be covered. Getting new leadership ready and organizing members for that to start planning things over summer for the next year. Fall is always an extremely important semester due to all the incoming new students, and MANY CS students are extremely interested in joining an organization where they can hang out, and ACM needs to be that place. Any questions just ask, I'll -- Tom Phillips -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
