End of the School Year/Summer Break

Well, the 2008-2010 school year is finally over and summer is upon us. Have a great summer
everyone and keep an eye out for updates in Fall 2009!
Spring Break
by SPS President on 3-5-09
Spring break is now upon us (yay!) so we will not have any meetings until March 23rd. We do
not have the specifics for the meeting yet but we will let you know as soon as possible. At this moment we have
3 more meetings scheduled for the semester with speakers TBD. We will be sending out information on Sigma Pi Sigma
shortly (check out the website listed on the Other Sites page). Also, since all four officers are graduating
this year, we definitely need to hold officer elections within our last couple meetings. If you are
interested or have any questions about either Sigma Pi Sigma or officer positions before we send out further info,
feel free to email us. Have a great break!
