Happy Sunday!
We hope you all are enjoying your long weekend, and taking some much deserved time to relax! Thank you all for stopping by our Dance Marathon bake sale and our WiB headshot fundraiser this past week. To help us continue to raise money for the UMass Dance Marathon, an annual student-run event that raises money for children at Baystate Children's Hospital, click here.
As a reminder, we will not be holding a meeting tomorrow, in observance of the Patriot's Day holiday. Our next meeting will be held on Monday, April 24th at 7pm in Isenberg 210* and will be an Internship Panel, featuring some of our amazing E-Board members! This meeting will be a great way to hear from real students about their experience navigating the internship search process and what their roles looked like. If you are looking for advice about future internships, or are just curious to learn more about them, this meeting is for you!
