Join us for the next ASABE Club meeting THIS TUESDAY. Dr. Christy will be joining us speak about Barn Again! Wings Over for dinner.

The CSM/ASM Women’s Networking Group is a new, student led, group that was started to help women in both industries network with other women in the majors and within their industries. Since both industries have so few women, it can often be challenging to find other females to network with. Each semester, we will be hosting three events, which are open to everyone in ASM and CSM. These events are there to help students gain knowledge of industry topics while also opening up dialogues about some of the challenges women face.

Please see our Facebook page for updates on all information on our group.

If you know of anyone who would be interested in coming out to speak or would like to host a site tour, please have them contact Rochelle Stapp.

February 28th – Social Event

Buffalo Wild Wings at 2151 N High St, Columbus, OH 43201

This is a casual event where students and industry women can come out and get to know each other.

March 21st – Industry Speaker

For our speaker, we have Andrew Hunkins, Senior Project Manager, from Corna Kokosing. Andrew will be coming out to discuss what Pull Planning is while also having a hands on exercise that will allow for students to gain knowledge on what all goes in to a successful schedule.

Unlike traditional scheduling, pull planning allows for the dates and time duration to be open to more than just a few. Subcontractors are invited to come out from all trades to all for them to create their own schedule. This allows for subcontractors to see what other trades will be going on and allows for them to see conflicts before they arise.

April 18th – Site Tour

The site tour will be at the College of Dentistry Building at Postle Hall, which is currently undergoing a $95 Million renovation and addition to the existing building. We will do networking at 5:30 PM and the presentation will start at 6:00 PM and go until 7:00 PM.

BioOhio’s fun  socials   bring Ohio’s bioscience players together for networking, talking shop, and getting to know one another in a casual atmosphere. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres for all guests; 1 drink ticket for BioOhio members, and that includes employees of  member organizations . Cash bar for non-members. Register Here.

For future semesters, enrollment in CSM 2600 will be limited to a maximum of 40 students. Instructors will no longer be allowed to let more students into the class should it reach capacity. If you need to take the safety course, it is recommended that you sign up as soon as your enrollment appointment begins!

You should have received an email from the Registrar with your summer and autumn enrollment dates. You can also check the right side of your Buckeye Link by clicking “details” under “Enrollment Information” to see when you can schedule.

“Financial Responsibility Statement”  locks have now been placed on student accounts. Students must complete this requirement prior to scheduling for summer and autumn. To complete this, log in to Buckeye Link and click “Financial Responsibility Statement” on the right side. This should take less than one minute of your time, but must be done before you are free to schedule.

ASM and CSM students , remember that all Juniors and Seniors will have a hold placed on their account that can only be removed by their faculty advisor. Please email your faculty advisor to set up an appointment regarding scheduling in order to have this hold removed BEFORE your window opens.   If you do not have a faculty advisor, you need to schedule an appointment with LaShanda to have one assigned to you.
