EWB Trampoline Park Social 2/26
by Sean Michael McCrohan 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hey there EWB people! Our first social event for the semester is coming up this Sunday! I've sent out groupme messages to the chapter groupme, but it has been brought to my attention that not everyone is in there. We will be going to Get Air Lafayette this Sunday, 2/26, from 1:30-3:30! We will have our own room reserved with trampolines for jumping, and we will also have a separate room for relaxing, and eating pizza. If you would like to jump, the cost will be $22/person. Below is an RSVP form, please fill this out ASAP if you plan on attending so we can work out transportation! Once we have enough people planning on coming, we will work out details for getting to Get Air Lafayette, and I will send out an email on Saturday. It's going to be a lot of fun, and will be a great chance to get to know everyone better, so I highly recommend going if you can! Please fill out this RSVP form ASAP if you would like to attend: https://goo.gl/forms/ZJQb8yLHbD28rOWz2 There is also a waiver that needs to be filled out with Get Air Lafayette before you can jump. You can either fill out the form online using the link below, or fill out one in person at the facility: https://lafayette.getairmanagement.com/Waiver2.html I hope to see a lot of you there! Sean McCrohan Head of Events Committee Get Air Waiver<https://lafayette.getairmanagement.com/Waiver2.html> lafayette.getairmanagement.com Every person (adults and children) entering the park must have a completed waiver on file in our system. Adults, Parents and Guardians can enter their information ...

EWB Week 7: Design Review Edition
by Shawn Edward Makulec 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Hello, everyone! It's that time of the semester again-- our first spring design review is upon us. This Wednesday evening, our EPICS team will be presenting their design review, which will also be our full chapter meeting. This is just slightly different from how the EPICS team has done design review in the past, as it will take place in ARMS B098-2, the i2i Studio, and all chapter members are invited and encouraged to come hear about what the EPICS side of the team has been up to this semester. Design review will start promptly at 6:00 PM (read: please get there a little early!) and runs until 8:00 PM, the full length of EPICS lab. Again, the main difference this year is that it will not take place in the usual location-- it's going to be downstairs where we have chapter meetings, so we'll have more space. The chapter will not be working on program selection this Wednesday because of design review. Instead, there will be a meeting on Saturday at 1:00 PM in the lobby of Potter. Did you buy a T-shirt last semester, but haven't picked it up yet? Send me an email and we'll get that taken care of. Here's our Google calendar: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=k6adasfa5cutbnmsfkr76qvcuk%4… Our schedule for the week: Monday, 2/20: Grants Committee meeting: 6:00 PM, Amelia's (ARMS basement). Tuesday 2/21: Biogas team meeting: 6:00 - 7:00 PM, ARMS 1098C. Wednesday, 2/22: Water team meeting: 5:00 - 6:00 PM, ARMS 3115. Design Review/Chapter meeting: 6:00 - 8:00 PM, ARMS B098-2. This is for the whole chapter-- EPICS should come to B098-2, NOT go to the lab. Thursday, 2/23: Events Committee meeting: 6:00 PM, Amelia's (ARMS basement). Saturday, 2/25: Program Selection meeting: 1:00 PM, Potter lobby. Monday, 2/27: Grants Committee meeting: 6:00 PM, Amelia's (ARMS basement). Future Directions team meeting: 7:00 PM, ARMS 1098-C. Tuesday, 2/28: Biogas team meeting: 6:00 - 7:00 PM, ARMS 1098C. That's it! See you all Wednesday for design review! Best, Shawn Makulec
