Its your Chapter President bringing you a new way to view all the scholarship, job opportunities, and special events that are passed on to me for your benefit! Below will be a listing of all current job postings and scholarship opportunities that have been passed on to me via my email to pass on to our current active members. Along with the help of the chapter telecommunications chair this will make the process of facilitating timely information to you more efficient and will allow for increased productivity in our communication efforts. As it has just gotten to time consuming to always send out email on a mass scale, I will be listing all relevant posts to this general posting area at the end of each week. Before you take advantage of any of these job or scholarship opportunities please make sure that your transcript , letters or recommendation, and resumes are in order.  "WATSON"
