This one you have to setup and plan. It is suggested that you have it in the student center ballroom (because new students will at least east know where the student center is located).

Before the intro meeting you should visit each school ME, AE, EE, CS, etc and try to get the to spam their list about our meeting (around the first week of school). Once booked, the student center contact for events will need to meet with you about 2 to 3 weeks before hand to verify and make sure you are getting what we need.
