[MUCSA] AGM Today!
Fri Sep 16, 2011
Hello everyone!
This is just a reminder that the Melbourne University Computing Students Association (MUCSA) Annual General Meeting will be held today (Friday the 16th) at 1pm in the seminar room in the ICT building (2.06, on level 2 next to Theatre 3). There will be pizza! It will be free!
If you're interested in being part of MUCSA and helping to run fun events for students doing computing subjects, and meeting new people, definitely consider running for one of these positions (plus it looks good on your CV):
President
Vice President
Treasurer
Secretary
Activities Officers (x2)
Education Officer
Web Officer
IT Operations
General Committee (x3)
Don't be afraid of rocking up and applying for something, even if you're new to computing at Melbourne. It's a great way of getting to meet people with similar interests, and the old committee hangs around anyway to help out.
We look forward to seeing you there (to eat all this free pizza),
Luke Parkinson
Education Officer
PS: Did we mention that there will be pizza?
