SOCIS Governance Meeting and Elections

Thursday, December 03
5.30 - 7.00pm
Reynolds 219

There's been some shuffling of the SOCIS Executive, and two positions have opened up to be filled: Vice President, and Community Liaison. Joining the exec is the best way to make a real difference in how the club is run, and also looks good on your resume.

To apply for a position, send us an email with your name, what you're running for, and why. We just need a short blurb in the email; there's time at the meeting for a proper candidacy speech.

For details about what each position involves, you can check our constitution.

We'll be keeping a list of running candidates on the forums.

Brass Taps Social

Thursday, December 03
7.00 - 9.00pm
Brass Taps

Nothing celebrates the end of the semester (and a gruelling election) like free pizza and cheap beer (cheap pop if you're under 19). SOCIS is pleased to offer both this Thursday in the Brass Taps, after the meeting. Pizza is courtesy of Dominos, and SOCIS will subsidize a third of all beer and pop purchases. So come on out and blow off all the steam you've built up since Sept!
