ASID MEETING

We will be talking about the Student Career Forum. I have some people lined up to talk about the classes they attended as well as some photos of people's projects from the event! We will also be talking about some workshops we are planning. Michael is planning a beginning sketch up workshop as well as an advanced. I am planning a drafting workshop and trying to nail down a date and time. We will also be discussing some possibilities for the student showcase reception.

WE WILL ALSO BE PAYING DUES ($10). PLEASE BRING THIS WITH YOU TO THE MEETING!

Have a great week back and see everyone Wednesday,

Jenny Dewey, ASID President

MARCH ASID MEETING

HEY EVERYONE,
I KNOW MANY OF YOU ARE EXPECTING MEETINGS TO HAPPEN THE FIRST WEEK OF EVERY MONTH. IN AN IDEAL WORLD, I WOULD LIKE THAT. BUT I JUST REALIZED THAT IT WAS MARCH. SINCE OUR SPRING BREAK IS IN A WEEK AND HALF AND MANY STUDENTS ARE ATTENDING THE STUDENT CAREER FORUM, I WILL BE PLANNING THE MEETING FOR THE WEDNESDAY AFTER SPRING BREAK. HOPEFULLY THEN WE WILL HAVE SOME MORE UPDATES ABOUT THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT LAST MEETING (STUDENT SHOWCASE LOCATION AS WELL AS T-SHIRT BIDS) AND WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CAREER FORUM. SINCE I AM NOT ATTENDING, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW IT DIFFERED FROM LAST YEAR. WE ALSO HAVE SOME STUDENTS THAT ENTERED THE COMPETITIONS SO WE WILL HEAR FROM THEM AND SEE THEIR PROJECTS. I APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE THAT THIS MEETING WILL BE SO LATE BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A HECTIC TIME FOR EVERYONE WHILE TEACHERS SCRAMBLE TO GET THINGS TURNED IN BEFORE BREAK.

SO THE TENATIVE DATE FOR THE MEETING IS:
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25TH AT 6:30 PM IN PAC 261

ALSO, I WANT TO DO A DRAFTING WORKSHOP THIS SEMESTER SINCE THE DRAFTING CLASS WAS CANCELLED. I HAVE IMMENSE KNOWLEDGE OF DRAFTING AS WELL AS SOME TRICKS BECAUSE I WAS TAUGHT BY A FORMER TEACHER WHO WAS THE BEST AND EXPECTED A HIGH LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE FROM HER STUDENTS. I HAVE HER HANDOUTS WHICH ARE A GREAT RESOURCE TO PASS ON!!! I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHEN THE STUDENTS WHO ARE IN NEED OF DRAFTING ARE AVAILABLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

THANKS,
JENNY, ASID PRESIDENT
