PLP Council - Juniors
Hey PLP Juniors,
I am writing to you today with an amazing opportunity to get involved with PLP! My name is Liz Kates and I am the chairperson of the PLP Council. We have already been busy this year working to set precedents and adapt policies and procedures to better suit the needs of PLP students.
Unfortunately, your class is underrepresented on the Council and may not be receiving the representation that you all deserve. We started the year with two representatives from your class; however, one person has since decided to resign. We want the voice of the PLP junior class to be heard and are opening this seat for a limited amount of time. We will be accepting applications until Thursday October 2, which is exactly ONE WEEK from today! Please consider applying to the Council as it is a great way to get involved in and change the future of the President’s Leadership Program.
If you are interested, please attend our next open meeting: Tuesday September 30, at 9pm in room 208 of the Trible Library (one of the classrooms upstairs). Then, fill out the attached application electronically and e-mail it to matthew.creasy@cnu.edu. Please also CC this message to Elizabeth.kates.05@cnu.edu.
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me at Elizabeth.kates.05@cnu.edu or contact our PR chair, Kayla Lupino, via the AIM screenname PLPCouncil.
We look forward to receiving your applications!

Workshop Update!!!
Hey guys, Kristen here. I've been getting some questions about workshops and I'm so glad that you are on top of things! We are working on an online system that will take the place of your service and involvement forms. This is a very exciting development that we have been working long and hard to create with the IT department. The system is ready but needs to be uploaded to the CNU server somewhere. There has been a delay with that because of the energy being spent to get everyone's internet on campus working properly. SO, this relates to workshops because you will be able to view an online calendar and sign yourself up for workshops. You will be able to see your attendance record for the workshops as well as speakers, community service, your personal information. So please be on the lookout for this new system and go log in and sign up for workshops and enter your personal information as soon as possible. Also, a correction is that the workshops are starting on Monday, September 8, NOT the 2nd so there is a little more of a time cushion before we get rolling.
Thank you all for being flexible-tell your friends about the blog if you don't think they got the update that we are using it :+) Keep checking in for new updates!
