This week in Chapter the Exec board for this semester introduced themselves and explained a bit about their positions. If you want to know more about them - check out the tab "Exec Spring 2020" on this website!
Our President, Alex, started off chapter by giving everyone a big welcome!
Our value of the week is Open-mindedness! Very fitting!
Alex introduced our advisors: Mims, Chelsea, and Megan!
We did have a moment of very serious warnings- APO has a STRICT no-alcohol policy. This means no socials, big/little interactions, or social media posts can have alcohol in them. Brothers: if you have letters in your bio or on your person and post a photo of yourself drinking there will be consequences. Please don't put yourselves into a bad position, be smart about what you post!
Sarah Shaw (one of our New Member Ed co-chairs) did a mental health minute on the importance of sleep! There's alot of research on how important sleep is and how going to bed and waking up at a consistent time can contribute to your over all well-being. Be at your peak performance! Try your best to have regular sleeping habits!
We had a guest speaker at chapter! Tiffany Legare from the Admissions Office and the Shadow a Wildcat program came to tell us the details about this incredible opportunity! Shadow a Wildcat is a personalized visit experience for prospective students!
The program matches your schedule with a visiting student, you take them to a class (get your professor's permission first!) and then take them for a meal! (If you don't have a meal plan - Admissions will cover the cost). It is low commitment and so very important! It is also a resume builder!
You can get more information by reaching out to Tiffany at Tiffany.Legare@unh.edu, or stopping by Smith Hall!
Our Treasurer, Gabriella, gave us some very important information about DUES!
This semester's Membership co-chairs are Julia and Shayna! They want to make sure you have taken the membership survey!!! If you are a senior - make sure to join the facebook page to keep in touch about important details!
