EWB Week 9
by Shawn Edward Makulec 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

Hello everyone! There's a lot going on with our chapter this week, including elections, and we have quite a few announcements: Elections for officer roles are going to take place at our chapter meeting tomorrow! Keep an eye out for an email with short paragraphs from all the candidates, as well as absentee voting info. If you have been nominated for an officer position and plan on running but haven't sent me your paragraph yet, send it to me by tonight, or you will be ineligible to run. If you haven't paid club dues yet, make sure to get in contact with Abde, our club treasurer. (His email is adhariwa(a)purdue.edu.) Over the next week or so, he's going to be finding people who still owe dues. Just a reminder, membership for this semester is $15. Our friends in the GEP are hosting a breakfast with Dr. Dorothy Okello from 10:00-11:30 AM on Wednesday, 3/22. Among her many accomplishments, Dr. Okello serves as Director of Innovation of the Resilient Africa Network, is president of the Uganda Institution of Professional Engineers (UIPE), has served as a Commissioner and an Interim Chairperson with the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), and founded the Women of Uganda Network (WOUGNET) in 2000. (Attached is a flyer with more details.) The breakfast is open to all students, and should be quite interesting! We do have a full-chapter meeting on 3/22, the Wednesday after spring break. Corey Linkel will be joining us to speak to our chapter about his work with MedLend at a teaching hospital in Mbara, Uganda. (I've been told he's in Uganda right now, and has promised to share photos and details of his trip.) Don't miss it! Doug Satoski and Pheobe Appel: you paid for T-shirts last semester but have not spoken to me about picking them up, and I have been unable to find contact info for you! If you don't get your shirt, we may resell it, which wouldn't be fun. As usual, here's a link to our team Google calendar: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=k6adasfa5cutbnmsfkr76qvcuk%4… A look at what's going on with our chapter for the next little while: Tuesday 3/7: Biogas team meeting: 6:00 - 7:00 PM, ARMS 1098C. Wednesday, 3/8: Water team meeting: 5:00 - 6:00 PM, ARMS 3115. Chapter meeting: 6:00 - 7:00 PM, ARMS B098-2. (Due to elections, our chapter meeting will run slightly longer than usual. This is a full chapter meeting, but EPICS folks will need to leave us a little early for lab.) Program Selection: 7:00 - 7:45 PM, ARMS B098-2. EPICS Lab: - 7:50 PM, ARMS 1098-C. Officer's meeting: 8:00 PM, ARMS 1098-C. Both newly-elected and outgoing officers will need to come to this meeting, so if you're running for a position, plan on coming! Thursday, 3/9: Events Committee meeting: 6:00 PM, Amelia's (ARMS basement). 3/11 - 3/19: SPRING BREAK! Monday, 3/20: Grants Committee meeting: 6:00 PM, Amelia's (ARMS basement).

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!

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
