Spring Semester Kickoff

On Thursday, February 23 at 4 p.m. in Smith 102A, CISTERS will hold its first event of the semester.

This event will give us some momentum for the rest of the semester--and on! This year, we'll focus on implementing the ideas we came up with in last year's brainstorming sessions, such as mentoring programs, early major outreach, and improving general awareness of our group.

If you want to be involved but can't make the first meeting, don't worry! We'll post the meeting's discussion on the CISters site, and we'll plan more frequent meetings at various times to accomodate everyone's busy schedules. There will be plenty of ways to be involved this year!

If you're interested in attending, please RSVP to cisters AT cis.udel.edu by Monday, February 20.
