In the past, the senator's position has not been utilized to it's full potential on the board. What members fail to understand is that senators hold ALL the power! It's time your voice was heard.

National Conference Passport Information

Greetings,


My name is Harold Wilson and I am the conference planning chair for the 2009-2010 term for the University of Pittsburgh National Society of Black Engineers chapter (N.S.B.E.). All of you have registered for the national convention that will take place in Toronto, Canada on March 31, 2010 through April 4, 2010. Hopefully all of you are aware that going to another country requires you to have a passport. We will be having a United States Post Office official on campus in the next 2 or 3 weeks for people to apply for their passport. We will need you to sign up for time slots between 10 a.m. -3 p.m. The time slots will be in thirty minute intervals starting with 10 a.m. as the first slot. The sign-up will be on a first come basis based on whoever emails me first with their time. You have until Wednesday October 7, 2009. After that date, we will open up to the other members in N.S.B.E. Since most of us have different times we attend class throughout the week, email your preferred time for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Remember, you can always go to the post office and do the paperwork there. But you will have to wait in a line with other people who are trying to get their passport too if you choose the post office route. If you have any questions, feel free to email me and I will get back to you as soon as I am able to. Thank you.

Harold Wilson

Conference Planning Chair
