Volunteer Work:

  • We will do protein folding again for our volunteer work as that is a good way to get membership participation.

    • This is because Blackboard will no longer support organizations; only classes.

Reflections Projections:

    • One month away. (October 15-17) Get Ready!!!

      • Ask if they are interested in driving, there will be a driver sign up as well.

      • The System Admin has to remove past members who aren't here.

Upcoming Email System:

    • Instead of having one email, NDSU is changing the email system so that undergraduate students will be first.last@my.ndsu.edu and faculty will be first.last@ndsu.edu...

    • This will come into effect some time next year.
