Hey y'all,
I am sure when I post this I will be the only one reading this. But I am going to post it any way so I can get into the habit. Most of us that are active in ACM@USC are going to be leaving soon and I am afraid that we do not have much to show. I was pleased with our first semester last year and with the effort put in by the small group of us in the second semester. The fear that I have, is there will be no one to take over. This summer I have be planning and talking with two ACM presidents that I was able to meet. I think our main goal in the fall should be to get 1st and 2nd year students involved. This is the only way our chapter will be able to remain on campus.

Speaking of campus. It is finished. Yes, yes, I finished the bylaws. All we need to do is get them approved by our chair, sponsor and the chapter. We will also have to type out a first year activity plan (which I am drafting this summer). After a few other sheets of paper get signed, we can request full active status. This is only a big deal if we want to utilize other resources...which we do. The department has been very kind to us this past year and a half, but it is time for us to step up a make this chapter known.

For this fall (my thoughts):
Bring attendance up to 10-15 per meeting
Elect four new officers early!!!!
have 50% of our attendance come from underclassmen (as many as we can get)
have at least two guest(outside the university) talk to us

These are some big goals, but I feel they are do able.

I am going to keep a running blog until I graduate this May and I hope by then members will be doing the same, and as always...GO COCKS!
