During this session, two major points were discussed:
Invitation:
This Friday 10/31 will be our monthly lunch gathering. This time we are staying on campus with a purpose: to brainstorm.
We will soon apply for funding from Google's RISE Program (http://www.google.com/corporate/diversity/rise/index.html). We think our organization, though informal, is a good match for the RISE Program. With your input, together we can define what goals we share and with what activities we want to achieve those goals. Needless to say, the better our brainstorming session, the better our application proposal, and the better the chance we garner Google's support.
To keep our brains working, there will be FREE pizzas served!
Date, time & venue: 10/31/2008 (Halloween!) 12pm - 1:30pm 102A Smith
