As we approach the end of the school year, I want to take the time and encourage each and every one of you to run for next year's Executive Board. There are a multitude of advantages to being on the E-Board including excellent leadership and networking opportunities, gaining organizational and analytical skills, learning how to effectively communicate with a diverse group of ambitious peers, and last but not least -- have the opportunity to take a great organization to the next level! 

 

Every single one of you has an equal chance of obtaining a position on the E-Board. As a freshmen or sophomore, your involvement on the e-board at a young age will allow you to continue to grow as a student leader throughout your time at MSU! If you are an upper classman, this is the time to step up and take charge before graduating! We are looking for dedicated members who are committed to making Pre-Law Society the best that it can be. All you have to do is be a paid member, have at least 6 participation points, and be able to serve at the capacity of your elected position during the entire 2010-2011 academic year.

Please find a description of positions (here) and the E-board application (here). E-board applications are due on Wednesday, April 21st by 5 pm. Elections will be held on Wednesday, April 28th. Remember, this is YOUR opportunity to shine! Please do not hesitate to contact me at muthukud@msu.edu with any questions, I would love to speak with you about my four years within Pre-Law Society and address any of your concerns.

 

-Kaushi Muthukuda
