Elections Reminder & Have a great break!
Hi All,
Safe travels to all who are traveling! Here is the recording from our 21st meeting.
Rafa did an incredible job leading the Fireside Chat. Throughout, Drew shared many insights, explaining:
Energy isn’t just power—it’s the foundation of every forward leap
Timelines of development in nuclear & the Lightning network
How to navigate VC hype cycles (watch out for the “flavor of the month”)
Mental frameworks for unlearning assumptions
Fragmented narratives & a broader crisis of meaning happening
Elections:
Elections are coming up on December 2nd!
Each person running will give a short speech and everyone in the club will be able to vote. You can run for multiple positions. We will be using the CampusGroups Voting feature as it worked quite well in the Spring.
As our Constitution states, I will be stepping down and the positions that are available are:
President
Vice-President
Treasurer
Secretary
Public Relations Subcommittee Lead: Athletics & Alumni
Public Relations Subcommittee Lead: Academics
Public Relations Subcommittee Co-Lead: Undergraduate Community
Public Relations Subcommittee Co-Lead: Undergraduate Community
