2/6/08 : NSCS Advisor Day!

On February 6, 2008 NSCS is celebrating NSCS advisor appreciation day.

This is a date that has been set aside so that the local chapter officers and their members can celebrate and thank their advisors for their dedication to this organization. On this day make an effort to stop by your advisors office with a thank you card. Other ideas include calling or emailing them to say thanks. You can become creative and bake a cake or cookies for them as a way of saying thank you. Other ideas include taking them out to lunch where you can get to know them outside of their “Advisor role.”Get to know them and how they became to feel so passionate about NSCS. Remember that a little bit can go a long way. If it was not for them, who else would be there to support such an amazing NSCS TEAM

SAVE THE DATE AND SAY THANKS!

From  the website,

In conjunction with the National Leadership Council’s ongoing academic integrity initiative, NSCS has created a new INTEGRITY Scholarship for members. Proceeds from the sale of INTEGRITY wristbands will contribute to this scholarship fund.

NSCS will award three $1,000 scholarships, one each to the three members who demonstrate a true commitment to integrity through a series of short answer questions describing a time when their integrity has been challenged. All NSCS members working towards an undergraduate or graduate degree are eligible to apply. Deadline March 15, 2008.

If you have any questions you can email me at vega@nscs.org or Rudy at Becerra@nscs.org

New Website is up NOW!

I am not sure if this is permanent or not but the new website is up and running. I LOVE IT!  It looks very user friendly with all of the categories to the left. At the top of the page you can see how many NSCS members are browsing the site at the same time you are. It looks really good and I suggest you all go to www.nscs.org to check out the changes.

Tell me what you think?
