3. Homecoming Float

 

The big homecoming game versus Indiana is coming up, and we need to get started on our homecoming float! ASME has won the float contest the past couple of years, and we need your help to continue the tradition. The first build session will be on Thursday at 7 pm at the Special Projects building, which is the building with the white roof north east of Loomis. There will be more build sessions on Saturday and Sunday, more info on those coming later. Any questions should be sent to Jason Thomas (thomas6@uiuc.edu) or Matt Savoie (msavoie2@uiuc.edu).

 

 

4. Social Events

 

The intramural soccer season is about to get underway; we will know the schedule on Thursday. We will also be having the ASME cookout on October 5^th from 11 am – 1 pm on Matthews outside of MEB. More info on that later. Also, mark your calendars: the ASME barcrawl will be on October 17^th, with more info coming later.

 

 

5. Committees

 

It is definitely not too late to get involved with an ASME committee! See http://asme.ec.uiuc.edu/committees.htm for a list of committees, and feel free to ask any one of the board members for more info. ASME committees are a great way to get involved in ASME and look great on a resume.

 

 

 

That’s all for this week. Sorry about the long email, but there is a lot going on in ASME coming up!
