Meeting This Week

Hello again PDS!

We're having our third meeting of the quarter this week on Thursday, November 8th in Social Science 2 Room 363 at 6:00PM-7:00PM! In this meeting we will start introducing interview questions, start doing practice DAT questions, and break into mentoring groups for any questions you may have. We'll also be taking our group picture at this meeting so wear your T-shirts if you have them! We will continue collecting member dues which are $25.00/ year or $10.00/quarter. With your member dues you'll receive a t-shirt and a binder with information you'll need to make you a more competitive applicant.

CPR training has been scheduled for Saturday, December 1st at 10:00AM-1:00PM at the UCSC Fire Department. This is first come first serve so space is limited so email us ASAP if you are interested. There is a $15.00 fee and we will be collecting that at the meeting. If you want to find out more check out this website: http://fire.ucsc.edu/public-education/cpr/group.html
