It's hard to believe that the semester is soon wrapping up and bidding close to another fine academic year. It's been my pleasure to play a role in ushering in various SiGMA activities throughout these months, and I genuinely think that we've made worthwhile strides towards maintaining and improving the graduate student quality of life in this esteemed department. Now I'd like to share that pleasure with you. This week we'll be welcoming nominations for officer positions in SiGMA next year. If you're at all interested in participating in SiGMA and ensuring its success/survival, let me encourage you to please seriously consider nominating yourself for an office. In all honesty, the time and energy requirements are minimal and the outcomes generate a pleasant sense of accomplishment (which can be especially appreciated when research results let you down). There are other benefits as well, including the opportunity to meet other students, develop leadership skills, and generate extracurricular talking points for a resume or job interview. There are five offices available: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Professional Development Director, and Social Director. To wrap it up: SiGMA can literally unleash your inner potential and give you and our department amazing powers and opportunities. Nominate yourself or your cohorts for an officer position this week. Oh yeah, and there's another happy hour in the works soon. Many thanks for your tireless attention, Justin Atchison, President, Sibley Graduates in Mechanical and Aerospace Happy Hour ach43@cornell.edu 2008-05-13T1000-05:00 http://www.rso.cornell.edu/sigma/index.html The next Happy Hour will be on May 15, from 5-7pm. You know the place. The theme for this event will be "Champagne and Chocolate" and our VIP Professor Bartender will be Professor van der Meulen. During this event we will also have a slide show, so send in those pictures! Information on the main SiGMA page.
