First, we need your help with the MSE Department Info Night which will be on Wednesday, October 7. Complete this survey if you would like to help, indicate if you want to help with labs or something else, have suggestions or questions: https://survey.vt.edu/survey/entry.jsp?id=1442845403173
Ambassadors, unless you are attending MS&T is this a required participation event.
Ok, on to pesky things like required meetings. I hold these meetings with you to benefit you, to make sure you are on track, have all your questions answered, and are exploring all the wonderful possibilities that awaits you. So, on with it… fill my calendar with meetings. As stated in a previous blog…
Seniors – I will come to your recitation class, so sit tight.
Juniors you must schedule your first meeting with me by September 30.
Sophomores – now that I’ve come to your Professional Development class please schedule your meeting with me ASAP.
Many of you have come and enjoyed the MSE Advising Space. We want you to use the space; studying, meeting with me or Kim, group stuff… ect. As previously stated, please continue to be quiet and respectful of the others. I must also remind you that your mother isn’t here to clean up after you. (yes, I went there) Over the past two weeks the staff has been clean up after you guys – picking up your trash (receipts, candy wrappers, trash…) and pushing in the chairs. OMGosh … for my sanity, please push your chairs in when you leave. Again, we want you to use this space, but you have to be respectful of it.
