SSIG Dinner
We're inviting SSIG members and Faculty to a casual dinner on Monday Nov 17 at 3:30pm. Its an early dinner, but its been getting dark early, so if you think about it, its really a perfect time to have dinner. Please check your emails, you should have received an evite - let us know if you did not. We would like to get an idea of how many people will be attending. This is the first chance SSIG members may have to meet their mentor before shadowing. It will be right after PPM on Monday. And yes, I will send out 18 reminder emails.
