General Meeting Reminder

Hello everyone,

Just a reminder about our general meeting tomorrow. Please see below for details:

The SLA will be holding a general meeting on Tuesday October 18th at 12:10 pm in the 7th floor Student Lounge. The meeting should last about an hour.

Some of what we will be discussing:

1. Library tours
2. Professional profiles
3. Social outings
4. Elections for vacant SLA-TSG positions

This meeting is especially important for any first year students who would like to get involved in the SLA-TSG. Our goal is to find some first-year students who would like to run the SLA-TSG in 2012/2013. Positions include: First year co-chair, first year social events chair, first year webmaster, and secretary.

Hope to see you all there!
