IEEE Room Upgrades
As many of you have noticed, the IEEE room was painted over Spring Break. We are still waiting for the carpet to be replaced. Once the carpet in replaced, the room will be returned to its original arrangement and the computers will then be setup again. In the meantime, we have cleared the tables in order to provide some studying space. When the carpet is replaced, the fridge will be unplugged. Food may spoil during this time. We will throw out any food that is questionable after the carpet is replaced.

New Officers for 2008-2009
Elections for officers will take place on April 17th. Start thinking about which position you would like to run for. A list of the officer positions and correlating job descriptions will be posted on the IEEE website shortly. If you do not think you will have time next semester for a full officer position, consider a role as a committee chair.
