Draper Student Organization Kick Off Meeting: 9/13

Hello Draperites!

As many of you know already, the senior staff of Anamesa is getting the Draper Student Organization back up and running after a yearlong hiatus.

In the past, the DSO has organized social get-togethers, discussion groups, academic conferences and a variety of other events and activities. The organization serves the Draper community by offering an outlet for academic conversations that may not have a place in the classroom, bringing together Draper students who may not have an opportunity to meet in their courses, and offering new and current Draper students a body of peers with whom to share their research, commiserate about the stresses of graduate student life, and just have a drink and a laugh every once and awhile.

As much as the DSO has to offer, it is nothing without your help! At Anamesa we have been brainstorming some fantastic event ideas over the summer and are sure you have many more. We'd love to get going with planning and organizing, but we need volunteers!

If you are interested in joining the DSO please come to our first meeting:

Date: Tuesday 9/13
Time: 8:30pm
Place: Reading Room, King Juan Carlos Center

We will be voting for officers at this meeting - President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer - so if you want to run come prepared to give a 5-minute introduction of yourself, why you want the position, and your qualifications. If you don't want an officer position but still want to get involved that's great too!

Please contact Anamesa (anamesa.journal@gmail.com) with any questions about the DSO. After the first meeting the new staff will send an email out with DSO's direct contact information, but for the time being the Anamesa staff will handle any inquiries.

We hope your semester is off to a great start and look forward to seeing you at the first DSO meeting on 9/13!

All the best,
Anamesa Editors
