Updates

Hello everybody,

I wanted to inform and apologize to those who came by our meeting today and did not find us there at the usual meeting location. We encountered some difficulty in reserving our usual location. I did, however, post our weekly meeting schedule and the location for the rest of the quarter on our club website. We will be meeting at our usual location Room 9202 Conference B in the PUB until the December 3rd meeting.

We will be holding a video session at the beginning of our next meeting on Wednesday. This inspiring video is about the Grameen Bank which was the first microfinance bank ever built. It will be about 15 minutes long and it will be followed by a short discussion. Be sure to join us for this film presentation at our meeting next week.

The first of our lecture series event is only about 25 days away so if you want to take part in preparing for this exciting event, be sure to come stop by our meeting next week.

Last but not the least, we held club officer elections today and I wanted to congratulate all of our awesome officers for their new positions.

Weekly Updates

Hello Everybody!
First of all, thanks to those who participated in our club sponsored event featuring the Nobel Prize Winner Joseph Stiglitz (With the exception of Eric being unable to control his laughter and Andy falling asleep 5 minutes into the speech).
Secondly, our congradulations to our partnering organization WPDSS for the great turnout for the Financial Crisis Event. It was a really awesome event with our college professors covering very important issues and providing much needed answers.

Club Kickoff Turnout

Hello everybody,

To all those who helped prepare for the Club Kickoff, AWESOME JOB!!! We had a really great turnout and it was really exciting to meet so many people interested in getting to know more about our club and what it is that we do.
One of the great things about our club is that because we are very young and new club so members and students like you and me have the opportunity to make the club into whatever we want it to be. Well, I hope to see you all soon at our coming club meeting!
Our club meeting will be held on regular time schedule: Wednesday at 12:30 PM in Room 9202
