ISIE Student Chapter Social Hour
Place and Time TBD
Sunday and every evening thereafter immediately following the conclusion of meetings, coversation at various local pubs. Social hour after the conference tends to be the best place for mingling with the rest of the conference attendees. In the past, nearly the entire conference has joined the student chapter on the local pub outings. At the end of the conference day, we'll announce where we're going and point out who you should follow.

Participants can also suggest activities that they would like to see the student chapter take on. Nominations will be accepted for 2006-2007 officers, who will be named at the meeting. Email Amy Landis (alandi1@uic.edu) if you would like to get involved, even if you aren't able to attend the conference.
