We want to thank everyone for attending our kick-off meeting last Thursday. If turn-out is any indication of future success, we are off to a great start! We also want to congratulate three new AMSA members on their local sponsorships. These students demonstrated a salient interest in joining our group and were chosen based on their essay applications. A warm welcome is extended to Judeline Alce, Chris Chung, and Nadine Maharaj. Also back by popular demand, AMSA Coffee Chat will be held at the Starbucks on campus; Wednesday, October 14 from 1-3 pm. Stop by and grab a cup of coffee on us, chat, ask questions, and learn of our upcoming meetings and events. Shari Goldstein, the Pre-Professional Health Advisor will be present for an open Q & A session. We hope to see you all soon!

President 2009-2010
