ISO Ice Cream Social...and Elections


Enjoy some ice cream – and take an early break from finals – with the International Student Organization on April 22 from 5 to 6 in the University Center South, Room 121 (above the food court area).

 In addition to the Ice Cream Social, we will have elections for a full slate of officers for next year.  The positions that need to be filled are president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and social coordinator.  If you would like to help the ISO through holding one of these positions, let us know so we can put your name on the ballot.  We can also take "nominations from the floor," meaning you can ask to be a candidate at the election meeting, but it would be easier for balloting if you let us know in advance.  This is a great opportunity to help get the ISO off and running as a major group on campus, but in order to do it, we need YOU!

 Hope to see you on April 22nd!
