IEEE Executive Board, I hope you are all having a good, productive summer and I look forward to working with all of you this coming semester. I have volunteered to take on the recruiting responsibilities, especially among the sophomore classes. I plan by August 30th to have given a short presentation in my own fundamental classes about why ECE and CPE students should join the IEEE and plan to make presentations in the other fundamental courses too. I plan to handout a brochure at the end of my presentation listing the benefits and our web address, and pass a sheet out to gather email addresses that want to receive emails from the Villanova IEEE. I like Sean?s idea on 50% subsidy for new student IEEE members, I believe this can help attract more members. Can we send a class wide recruiting emails from the IEEE so we contact every ECE CPE student from sophomore to senior? Looking further into the future, second semester, I would like to make some kind of contact with the freshmen engineering class. I believe very few freshmen are even aware of the IEEE and I would like to see some freshmen enrollment into the IEEE in the second semester. I believe to keep our branch alive and active we need to start as soon as possible with new members so they can learn and become experienced and keep our branch very active after we graduate. A note on the meeting times. I have no problems with bi-weekly meetings just as long as the meetings begin after 5 or later on any given day of the week. Enjoy the rest of you summer everyone and look forward to seeing you all at our first meeting of the new semester. --Evan Nikolich ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean T.
