I think we should cancel our Wednesday meeting on the 29th so those who are interested (me and anyone else) can attend the Garmin meeting.

Graduating seniors need to file for graduation

Are you graduating Spring 2012, Summer 2012, or Fall 2012? Have you filed for graduation? Engineering seniors are required to file for graduation at least one semester prior to graduation. That means potential Spring 2012 graduates should have already filed in the Fall, and potential Summer/Fall 2012 graduates should be filing NOW. To file for graduation, log into MyWSU, choose the Student Resources Tab, click Application for Degree in the Graduation Links tab, and follow the prompts.

---------------------------------------------

Reminders

* ACM has meetings on Mondays from 6:00pm - 7:00pm and on Wednesdays from 12:30pm to 1:30pm.

* Updated degree course sequences (check sheets) are available online on the CoE website under Advising. www.wichita.edu/engineering

I'm fine with that. I'll plan to get that up on the website as an
announcement this weekend.

Glad to see the ACM meeting reminder lists the times, but hoping that
the room number will be included on the next news flash email. :)
