General Meeting: PCA Panel 6:00pm - 7:00pm, Foresty Building Atrium
According to the PCA Website:
"The members of the Michigan Technological University (MTU) Presidential Council of Alumnae (PCA) are recognized for achievements in a number of areas such as educational excellence, professional accomplishments, past student service, current community services, University support, and other personal success. The PCA?s main responsibility is to advise the President on campus climate issues and to provide suggestions for enhancing the University?s environment for students, especially women. The PCA members assist the President by identifying activities and programs that will benefit Michigan Tech students, and work with the Department of Educational Opportunity, the Advancement area, and the academic departments to implement their ideas."
Wednesday night of Week 13 of the Spring semester, members of the PCA come and participate in a discussion panel open to all members of campus and the community. We attend this event as our General Meeting for this week because we feel that this is a great opportunity for members of SWE to talk with successful female graduates of Michigan Tech.
