Hello, AMS Team:
I hope that everyone is having a good week and that you are all prepared for an exciting Thursday Night of bowling! Before we depart for Mardi Gras Lanes, we will have several announcements that will be made at 7:00 PM in Davis Hall, room 121. We plan to develop 3 committees that will provide you with the opportunity to become more involved in the AMS and in the department. We shall develop the following committees:
1. A Fundraising Committee
2. A Social Event Planning Committee
3. A temporary STEMfest Committee
Please note that even if you cannot attend the STEMfest event (to be held on Saturday, October 22 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM), you are encouraged to join the committee if you have ideas for possible activities!
Please recall that NIU-AMS Dues of $20 are to be turned in by Thursday, October 20. If you have the money at this Thursday's meeting, then it is suggested that you pay at that time. Alternatively, you can pay the NIU-AMS Treasurer, Jeff Kilburg, at any time between now and the due date. It's also expected that another meeting will be held on the due date. Cash and checks are the acceptable forms of payment. Checks are to be made payable to the "NIU-AMS".
Additionally, Geography/Meteorology will be hosting an Open House for high school students and their families on Monday, October 10 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. If you are available and interested in volunteering, then please send us an email or let us know at Thursday's meeting. Don't worry--you wouldn't be doing any advising. You would simply be guiding department tours and speaking about your experiences at NIU. Do NOT pass up this excellent volunteer/leadership opportunity; this would look great on a resume!
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday!
