Spooktober Recap

If you did not get to join the meeting, no worries we have a recording of it for you to watch at your own time!

Going Virtual
Welcome back Bobcats! Hopefully everyone had a good first week back, especially after the very lengthy spring break we had this year (I still feel like it’s March). We are happy to announce that we’ll be having our first social event of the semester this Thursday, September 3rd at 6pm! We’ll be doing a virtual game night over Zoom, looking forward to see you there!
March Madness!
March started off nice, our most recent chapter meeting was a success with some great information that was shared from our representatives from Brooksource and Whole Foods! As you guys know, we have Nationals coming up soon! Thank you for those that signed up to go and we are excited to have you all join us! Other than that, exams are coming up so good luck to those that have some coming up, spring break is around the corner though so I hope everyone stays safe and enjoys!
Kicking off the spring semester!
Hope everyone enjoyed their winter break! As we swing into the spring semester with classes and such, don’t forget that AITP chapter meetings are every first Tuesday of the month! Our first meeting is this upcoming Tuesday on February 4th with our keynote speaker being a representative from EY, hope too see you guys there!
Also huge shout out to those that made it out the Spot on Thursday, it was a great time and I hope more people can come out to the future socials we hold!
Final blog post of the semester: Happy Holidays!
Congratulations on the Graduations!
We did it everyone! We made it through to the end of the semester, with most of our sanity intact no less.
To our graduating members congratulations are in order. (Yay, We did it!)
Many of the big personalities in the CIS degree course graduated this past Saturday 12/14/2019. We walked the stage with poise and grace; and took ceremonious dunks in the river, as tradition demands.
If I may add a personal anecdote here: after commencement I overheard several people refer to me as looking like a priest, rabbi, philosopher, or wizard. Needless to say I ate all that up. 🙂
(ahem…)
We are excited, and look forward to seeing big successes from our fellow Fall 2019 graduates. If our names aren’t remembered by history, then there truly is no justice in this world.
For those who have their final semester this coming Spring: See it through to the end, keep your eye on the prize. Y’all got this!
Happy Holidays!
Oh yeah, aren’t there end of year festivities occurring soon??
Boxing Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Years, Omisoka, even Saturnalia, & Yule; December is full of excellent reasons to celebrate.
We hope everyone will have festive and fun end of year celebration(s)!
I plan on doing as many as will allow me to wear my new favorite ugly sweater.
The most important aspect of the holidays is being together, but we all know how this month goes, a lot of traveling, gifts, family, friends, and a greater than 0% chance of drinking.
Please don’t drink & drive though.
Have happy and safe holidays! Enjoy the break and we’ll see y’all in the Spring.
Signing Off

Now I’m finally going to catch up on some sleep!
