Academic Relations Committee To Reach Out to Students
by Jeanette Evans, Senior Member

I am hoping that this year we can can continue the student outreach work that we started last year. We targeted four schools last year. I hope we get enough volunteers this year to continue the work we started with Bowling Green, Youngstown State, Cedarville, and Miami. We could of course always add more schools.

Please feel free to let me know if you are willing to help in the fun and satisfying work of this committee. This work is often less time consuming than some of the other committees in NEOSTC. I look forward to hearing from you about joining us.

If you volunteer, we ask that you personally contact at least one student in the tech com field. This contact involves asking if the student is aware of NEOSTC and would like to get more information, learn about upcoming meetings, etc. I would also like to assess interest at that point in a college level competition.

This should be an enjoyable networking and mentoring activity where students hook up with members working in the field. STC has identified this type of outreach work as a valuable part of what we should be doing at the local level. I am looking forward to it!
