[Ewb-list] IMPORTANT CALLOUT ADVERTISING
by jdohrenw＠purdue.edu 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Just a reminded to be doing two things in all your classes today to advertise the EWB callout: 1. Write the following on the board in each of your classrooms at the BEGINNING of class (and any other classrooms you think will have engineering students if you have breaks today): Engineers Without Borders Callout Today, Sep 1st 6 PM, CIVL 1144 Questions? jdohrenw(a)purdue.edu 2. Ask your professor to stand up at the beginning of class and make the following announcement: I am a member of Engineers Without Borders, we are having a callout tonight at 6pm in civil 1144. It's a really great organization and we have a really cool water project in Bolivia that you'll get to work on. If you have any questions please talk to me after class, but I hope to see you there. Thanks! I know I was a little late sending this email at 9am day of, but the key too good attendance at callouts is good advertising and the easiest and most efficient way to reach engineers is in the classes you engineers are taking. Thanks and see you tonight!!! Jackie Dohrenwend Civil Engineering 270-993-4382
