The officers had fun in Baltimore this past weekend! Congrats to Amelia winning first place in Project Run With It!

We had so much fun networking while golfing with the local firms last weekend at our annual golf outing! Through the help of the firms and students, we were able to raise over $2700 for American Cancer Society!

More Reminders:

This is the last day to register for the golf outing! Money can be given to Dr. Murray or one of the officers. If you can't find us today you can give it to one of the GA's in the accounting office and they know to hold onto it for the event.

The SIUE Bursar's Office and Financial Aid Office are coming to present on how to plan your expenses and budget your money during college, which can also be applied to other parts of your life. This week's meeting is an open event, so I recommend coming early to make sure you get a seat. It is also a GBA 301 eligible activity, so if you bring the attendance paper we will sign it for you. The event is scheduled until 6:30, so if you are really wanting to come but have class at 6:00, you can sneak out early. If you do stay the whole time, we will have you sign out at the end so you can get the extra time towards your professional hours.

Date: Thursday, March 3rd
Time: 5:00 - 6:30 pm

Reminder: please get on collegiatelink and vote "yes" by Friday if you would like to do the free LinkedIn photoshoot.
