Hey ACES Members, Welcome back to Curtin for the second semester of 2012. Unfortunately we are already into week four which means the assignments, tests and labs are starting to build up but we have some good news for you ...ACES finally have some events for you to help ease the stresses of university life. Our first event is on Tuesday the 21st of August (only two weeks away) and we are having a combined quiz night with the Curtin Engineers Club (CEC). The night is themed as a "Night at the Movies" and naturally, some people will dress accordingly but this is not an expectation for the event so don't let that deter you. Entry will be $5 and you just have to pay on the night at 7.00pm at the engineering pavilion. Tables will be arranged as tables of 6 so bring enough friends to fill your table. Thanks to the partnership with CEC, we are providing free pizza, soft drink and popcorn all night so come down, have some food, relax and enjoy a fun, and trivia filled night. Check out the ACES and CEC facebook pages for more information and to RSVP for the event or follow the link: https://www.facebook.com/events/103921913089791/ As some of you may now we have a site visit to CSBP Chemicals booked in the week break on the 29th of August. For all those who bought tickets, you got in just in time. We were overwhelmed with how quickly the tickets sold and we definitely need to plead for more spaces next time. For those who have missed out, don't stress! We have more site visits planned for either later in the semester or early next year. Finally, who doesn't love a sausage sizzle? Well later in the semester we are having a "Snags with Grads" event where we will be cooking you free sausage sizzles, giving you free soft drink and providing you with an opportunity to speak to a few graduates in industry in a casual environment. This should be held on the 7th of September but stay tuned on facebook for more information. Feel free to contact ACES with any queries and make sure you have all joined the facebook page for ACES Curtin. I look forward to seeing you all at the quiz night. Kind Regards, Daniel Murphy President - Association of Chemical Engineering Students StudIEAust, Student IChemE
