Fall 2010

Howard Lim — Wed, 26 May 2010 16:33:18 +0000

Hello everyone!

Now that finals are over, and the semester has officially ended, I just wanted to take the time to give you all some updates on next semester. I will be graduating, as well as a few of the other officers, however I would like to introduce you to Ryan Er. He will be taking over my position, however I will still be around, as well as most of the other graduating officers to oversee next semester’s operations.

SAM is looking forward to a great Fall semester, and would really love to see current non-graduating members again next semester, as well as fresh new faces! We don’t have anything official planned as far as events for next semester yet, but please stay tuned to our website for more details!

Also, more updates to the website will take place soon – especially picture uploads from all of this semester’s events. Take care and have a great summer from all of us here at the Society for Advancement of Management!
