Dear UTERN members, It?s been a while since you heard directly from us. Here?s a quick update on the things we have been working on since we got back to school. Please take the time to read through this short update, as important issues are being addressed. 1. ENVIRONMENT WEEK. UTERN has set aside $5000 to fund projects that will take place during Environment Week. The funding process is also facilitated for these projects. If you have an idea and the time to organize an event for Environment Week, but need funding, come and ask us. Contact Brian at 2. UPCOMING ELECTIONS. We all really believe in the potential of UTERN. However, a number of the board directors will be graduating this year and will not be applying for positions next year. We will also be updating our constitutions to include more positions. This is a great opportunity for you to get formally involved with this great organization. Remember, managing a $20,000 fund is a very good asset for anyone?s resume. If you are interested in applying for a position for 2004-05, Contact Jake at 3. PRINTER CARTRIDGES. We are continuing to recycle printer cartridges, and we are working on expanding the infrastructure to the whole University. If you want to help us out, please do not hesitate. You could become the official coordinator for your college or residence, and if you work on behalf of a group, there will be income opportunities for the group. Contact Quentin at 4. ENVIRONMENTAL ART CONTEST. UTERN in collaboration with ENSU will be printing and selling trendy Tshirts with an environmental message. If you are an artist and you would like to see your environment-aware design printed on our Tshirts, enter our contest! Contact Edward at 5. POSTERING. We are about to launch our first massive advertising campaign. We will soon be organizing postering days, where we will all go out together and put up posters for our various projects. Please get involved! This is very important for the future of UTERN and it is going to be fun! Contact Edward at 6. WEBSITE. We are proud to announce that our new website is almost operational. It?s going to be a big change, and we strongly encourage you to visit it often. The address will be the same, and it will be up and running by the end of next week! That?s all folks! Hopefully some of these projects are of interest to you. If you want to see who we are and find out what we do in more detail, come to our open meeting this Tuesday February 10th, at 6pm in the Environmental Conference Room, Earth Science Building South.
