Happy Wednesday!!
Thank you so much for joining us Monday night for our thrilling Halloween meeting. We had so much fun watching you participate in the various games and seeing all of your amazing costumes!
As a reminder, there will be NO MEETING next Monday. Our next general body meeting will be Monday, November 18th, at 7pm in Flavin Auditorium (Isenberg 137).

During this meeting, we will discuss entrepreneurship, following your dreams, and the importance of variety when building your resume with Kevin O’Leary and Taylor Bramhall.
In the mean time, make sure to pop out to our WiB World Wide meeting on Tuesday, November 12th at 7pm in Isenberg room N135. This is going to be a very fun meeting, where our E-Board members will be sharing their experiences on their time abroad!
