There were over 20 eligible applicants for the Future Engineers Scholarship 2008 (deadline was May 30th, 2008). The selection committee will be meeting near the end of June to make final selections. All applications will be judged using a blind selection process, which hides the identities of the applicant. All of the winners will be awarded their scholarships on September 5th, 2008 at the golf outing sponsored by our donor. This year, we have fourteen $2000 scholarships to award.
The Student Activities Committee wishes to thank Eric Edman, past president of the Boston Chapter, for his service to the student members of our chapter. He hosted three tours of Children's Hospital Boston. Over 50 students in total attended the tours, most from Wentworth Institute of Technology.
Each of our student chapters is given $1500 in chapter funds each year to pay for their own meetings, supplies, and to fund special projects. Any members or alumni of WIT, MIT or Massasoit are welcome to participate in student chapter activities by serving as advisors for special projects, presenting career information, or hosting a tour or lunch for the students. Please contact crossini@dac-hvac.com or joshua.benoist@autodesk.com to get involved.
