Student, Young Professional and Newcomer Orientation
Time: 6.00pm – 7.30pm, Monday, October 31
Location: TBD
The DSCC 2011 organizing committee is pleased to announce a Students, Young Professionals, and Newcomers orientation that will take place from 6.00pm to 7.30pm on Monday, October 31. The orientation’s main goals will be: (1) to serve as an ice-breaker allowing newcomers to introduce themselves to the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division (DCSC) as a community; (2) to give student members of DSCD a perspective on how being active and visible in DSCD can help both our academic community and the students’ career growth; (3) to provide a very brief overview of the DSCD’s current strategic plan, and the opportunities within this plan for students to actively serve society and advance their careers; and (4) to help coalesce student participation within DSCD into a more organized, active, and beneficial presence for all involved. Attendance of either this orientation or the Executive Committee meeting is expected from students wishing to receive travel grants to DSCC 2011. More details on this orientation will be made available on the DSCC 2011 website. We look forward to your attendance and participation.
