WIN Weekly

The Week At WIN:

1. Truman Orientation was a huge success. We already have 17 new members and 3 returning members.

2. As of today, there are already 6 people signed up for the Baxter Tour on Halloween. We assume slots will go quickly once we meet with COD students this Friday...thus, make sure to sign up now if you want a slot. You can register on the Facebook site.

3. There were five NEW discussion stories posted on the Facebook Discussion board: 1) Nano on the Brain, 2) Nano Scenarios (really cool stuff), 3) Nano Candy Fights BioTerrorism, 4) Nano to facilitate Time Travel, 5) Nano to solve the energy crisis. All stories are definitely worth a few minutes to stretch your mind. Hopefully one or two will pique your interest. Happy reading and thinking!

4. COD orientation on Friday!
