Congradulations to all!

Our final meeting this year will be on Thursday, April 12 at 11:00 AM at Van Leer W200

At our meeting on Thursday, we will be holding officer elections!! There will be 11 positions available, and I encourage everyone interested in gaining leadership experience to run. In addition to being a student at Tech, I've found extreme satisfaction in working with a group of fantastic individuals to accomplish common goals. Being an officer is definitely a learning experience, so even if you do not have previous leadership experience, view this as a chance to get your feet wet. Besides working with an awesome group of people, showing leadership and responsibility for something shows potential employers that you are well rounded and can effectively work with a group of people.

The positions available for next year are listed below. If you want to know exactly what each position involves, take a look at the attached Officer Roles Document. If interested, send me an email with your name, office, and short bio highlighting your background, past experience, and why you think you would do an awesome job in this position. The deadline to send this email is Wednesday, April 11.

At our meeting on Thursday we will let you all know about community service projects that we have for the month- but I want to let you all know that one important event has changed. Tutoring at North Atlanta High is now on April 12th,16th,17th, and 19th.

North Atlanta High School has asked us to help tutor students for the EOCT which is coming up in the next few weeks.The EOCT includes Algebra I, Geometry, U.S. History, Economics, Biology, Physical Science, Ninth Grade Literature and Composition, and American Literature and Composition. It is a required exam for students to take in order to graduate from high school. In a recent report from the state, this school had only a 52% passing rate for the Math II portion of the exam last year.

We know that Georgia Tech keeps everyone busy, but if you have time, this would be a great way to make a difference!


We definitely need more volunteers, especially drivers.Please sign up online and meet in front of Under the Couch in the Student Center. We will leave by 3:10pm
