A big thanks to everyone that made it out to our kick-off event on November
2nd.  It was great to see old and new faces and we're excited about this
coming year.

If you came to the event (or even if you didn't) we'd love to get some
feedback - both about the event itself as well as what you would like to see
AWIS-CAC offer in the coming months.

Please take a few minutes to fill out a brief
survey<http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FRFLJZV>and let us know what you
think.

*CPS Science and Math Fair - January 14*
**
On Friday, January 14, 2011, Chicago State University will host the Chicago
Public Schools’ Annual Science and Math Competition.  Last year’s
competition drew over 110 participants. This year we are expecting over 120
promising high school scientists and mathematicians.  They are in need of
judges for the competition in the following areas:

Aerospace Science, Computer Science, Health Science, Behavioral Science,
Environmental Sciences, Material Science, Biochemistry, Earth Science,
Mathematics, Botany, Electronics, Microbiology, Chemistry, Engineering, and
Physics & Zoology

 The organizers feel it is important that Chicago Public School students get
the opportunity to interact with science and math professionals who
exemplify the tenets of academic rigor. This experience allows aspiring
students to get first-hand exposure to individuals who are engaged in the
pursuit of academic excellence. Students are motivated by these encounters
and are able to view themselves in these roles.

Please contact Jimmie Bush <jbush at csu.edu> by December 10 for an
application.
