Tuesday (TOMORROW!) January 31, 2012

Ever wanted to attend a SWE Meeting, but have a schedule conflict? Have you heard about SWE’s alternative meeting!?! Stop by SWE Fights Winter Quarter, your key to surviving the coldest (although, lately not so cold!) quarter at Cal Poly. This week, students will have the opportunity to learn about the difference between good stress and bad stress (procrastination) and how this affects an academic profile.
GOOGLE, the sponsor of the SWE Fights Winter Quarter series, will be in attendance! This is an event you don’t want to miss! Questions? Contact kzombro@calpoly.edu for more information.
Looking to the future:
