Dulles, Crossword, Elections, & Meeting!

Dulles:
If you are interested in going to the National Air and Space Museum in Dulles, please let us know immediately in person or on ANGEL.  We will be arranging transportation for all participants so we want to know what dates are good for you. Check out what the museum has to offer by clicking here. Surely you don't want to miss this opportunity to travel with your friends in aerospace to a fascinating museum.

Crossword:
Test your aerospace knowledge!  The AIAA has compiled a fun crossword that lets you use what you have learned in your aerospace courses.  It's fairly easy and uses basic aerospace terminology (sort of). Copies are available in the Aerospace office in 229 Hammond (ask Amy). We will replenish these copies when need be. You can also download and print yourself a copy by clicking here.

Elections:
If you would like to run for an officer position in the AIAA next semester, get ready! Be prepared to submit information about yourself as well as a small speech to be presented to the voters. We will keep you updated on when elections will take place. Feel free to contact any AIAA officer regarding his or her position to get some insight on what positions interest you.

General Meeting:
We are having another general meeting to which all AIAA members are invited to. 

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 2008

KUNKLE LOUNGE

Food and drinks will be provided. There will also be a contest which you can participate in. We will be mentioning some important events so we suggest all members be there! Mark your calendars.

Attention everyone: For those of you who were thinking about registering for the student conference in April but never got around to it, you are in luck!

The deadline for registration and paper submision has been extended until Monday March 24

Don't miss out on this great opportunity to network with other students and learn about current research being done. Stay tuned for more updates.

The yearly Industrial and Professional Advisory Council (IPAC) meeting is approaching!  This is where a committee of professionals spend several days on campus hearing feedback about the aerospace engineering department and then making suggestions for improvements. A survey is now in place on ANGEL for you to anonymously submit anything you would like the officers to bring up to the committee.

This is your chance to bring up any issues that you may have faced or are facing in our department.  Don't miss this particular opportunity.   

Oh, and don't forget about submitting your T-SHIRT designs on ANGEL!  You have the chance, right here and now, to put your design on apparel that will be worn by hundreds of people.

Resumes:
Looking for a job this summer? Need to brush up that resume? The engineering career fair is just around the corner, on February 6th. You can check out http://www.engr.psu.edu/coop for all the details.
 
In the meantime, AIAA would like to offer peer resume reviewing by students who have held several work experiences and have been through many career fairs and interviews. If you would like another opinion while crafting your resume, please contact us so that we can get you in touch with an experienced student.

The student will review your resume and email you with feedback. Further discussion may also be arranged if desired. This resource is available for our benefit. Many aerospace companies will be at the career fair next week, so good luck with your preparations.

Dulles Trip:
The AIAA is planning a trip to the National Air & Space Museum in Dulles.  We will release more details in a few more days.

We are starting our new 2008 T-Shirt contest. The goal is to have a few designs selected to be placed on T-Shirts that will be sold to all AIAA members and alumni in the aerospace department. You should incorporate some aerospace aspect into the deisgn whether it be a slogan or an image.  Please contact us if you need more infromation.  A drop-box is available on ANGEL to submit your ideas!
