Announcements: September 2, 2009

Howdy TAMUites!
 
Now that you are all settled here in B/CS and the first few days of classes are behind you, it's time for the ITE Student Chapter to kick-off the 2009-2010 academic year.  Read on to get some more info about some events we have coming up in the next couple of weeks.  If you are new to the program or have not participated in ITE events for a while, please consider attending these events and learn more about what ITE is all about.
 
Our first meeting of the new semester will be next Tuesday, September 8 at 5:30 PM in CE Building Room 118.  The speaker will be Jim Dale, Vice President of PTV America, giving a presentation on "Innovative Technologies for Traffic Analysis."  The focus of the talk will be on the software package VISSIM, which is in widespread use by transportation consultants for a variety of applications.  Free dinner from Chipotle will be provided to all in attendance and we will have a door prize-an autographed copy of country music singer Granger Smith's new CD.  Information on how to join the ITE Student Chapter will be available as well.  I hope to see you all there next Tuesday at 5:30 PM.
 
Next Saturday, September 12, we will have our first Adopt-A-Highway litter cleanup of the new semester.  For those that are unfamiliar with the program, our Chapter cleans litter off a one-mile stretch of highway outside of Bryan four times per semester.  We will meet at 9:30 AM in the back of Parking Lot 50 on campus and carpool out to the site.  More information and sign-up will be available at the meeting Tuesday.  We normally go out for lunch after the cleanup activity, but we will not this time because we will be having a cookout at Dr. Hawkins' house starting a 2:00 PM.  More information about that will be available on Tuesday as well.
