End of Semester Updates [12/18/2018]
Now that the fall 2019 semester is ending, there are a few updates for everyone. The first is that there will be E-Board elections coming up at the beginning of the spring semester. In order to participate, you must be nominated for a position (either by yourself or by others), and the link to the nomination form can be found [HERE]. Additionally, for members who are looking to become more involved, you can now volunteer to help plan our auction fundraiser in the spring. Finally, there is an EWB conference coming up in the spring, and any members who are interested should send an email to obtain more information to ewb.umass@gmail.com.
Good luck on finals, happy holidays, and have a great break!
