APRIL NEWSLETTER: Upcoming Events

APRIL NEWSLETTER: SOURCE News

It seems impossible that the year is almost over, and as the academic year comes to a close it is time for a new SOURCE Board of Governors to step up.
The current Board of Governors would like to thank everyone for an amazing year! Without such amazing organizations and advisers, the SOURCE would not be the group that it has grown into over this past year.
We would like to remind everyone about the amazing resources that are available for any organization in the SOURCE space. Feel free to use these resources to make your organization an even bigger success!
We hope to see everyone at the Awards Banquet on April 13th.

Thank you for a great year!
