Happy Fall 2013!
Hi, everyone!
This is Sarah, NSSLHA Secretary for this year. We're looking forward to another great semester together this Fall, and if anyone hasn't heard yet, our first meeting will be Tuesday, September 17th at 5pm in UTC 3.124. We'll fill you in on everything you need to know about being a NSSLHA member, our plans for the semester, and how you can get involved with the CSD community in Austin. There will be free pizza at the meeting, and we'll head to Red Mango together for a social afterward.
For anyone who may have conflicts with our every-other-Tuesday meeting times, here is where I'll post the meeting minutes after each meeting for online members to read and comment on in place of their actual meeting attendance.
Be sure to also find us on Facebook here to stay up to date: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2201274923/
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on the 17th!
