THIS WEEK'S MEETING PUSHED BACK (10/25 Thursday --> Possible next Thursday)

Hi everybody!

Something came up in the family so it's difficult for me to hold a meeting this Thursday (10/25). We decided to push it to this Friday (10/26). We plan on holding it in the MacGregor common room around 4:30 or 5pm. Please respond back as to which times would be more preferable to you. We could schedule it earlier but we don't know how many people still have labs or classes to go to on Fridays.  It seems that Friday is a bad choice. We will try to aim for next Thursday (10/1) instead. Sorry for the inconvenience guys!

The topic of this week's meeting will be on applying to vet school and the Tufts Presentation that will be held this Tuesday, 6pm at Umass.

As for the Tufts Admission Presentation, we've already reserved a van. We should be leaving no later than 5:30pm and we should be meeting around Clapp. The final details will be sent out soon. To those who are planning on taking the van with us: Please see Jackie Collette in the Pre-Health Office to make sure your name and phone number is listed.

Also, our club is looking for a secretary and a treasurer.

Sorry for the inconvenience guys!

It's best to have your own car if you're attending one of these groups. I don't recommend walking. If you're looking to carpool, contact the group or go on our FB page and write a post. If you're a Pre-Vet member who is in one of these groups and is offering to carpool, please leave a comment on FB as well.

I've went in and talked to our adviser about the Fleet van situation a few days ago but I haven't received any confirmation about that yet.

Hi everybody! I wanted to remind everybody of an event held tomorrow by the Pre-Health Program that should be of interest to you.
