I’m not sure where September went as I feel like it just flew by! Thank you to Angela Schroeder for planning and hosting our afternoon of games at White Crow. It was quite a fun event and I appreciate everyone that was able to make it out. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had to get my sister to the airport. I’m looking forward to a rematch of ticket to ride with Shaina, Michelle, Brian and Tyler!
I also want to say thank you to Emma for planning the resume review workshop with the WSU section. While I was unable to attend this evening I heard it was very well attended and I look forward to hearing more about it at our general meeting.
October is shaping up to be another busy month for Wichita SWE, especially with our Society Conference in Chicago. We have several upcoming events that need people to RSVP or purchase tickets for.
