Some important changes have been made, so please read through the minutes carefully. I would like to touch upon a couple of changes right now.

1.       Please welcome Capri Copp as our newly elected USG Liaison. Thank you, Capri, for accepting this important role with our chapter!

2.       We are still in need of a Treasurer. If you’re interested, or know someone who may be, please send a nomination our way.

3.       In order to boost our chapter membership, we voted to eliminate local chapter dues. This is a savings of $30 per year! In order to access or member benefits or hold an officer position, you must still be a member-in-good-standing with AMSA National. The dues to join national are very reasonable, especially when you consider what most professional associations charge their members. You can apply to AMSA National at https://www.amsa.org/secure/member1.cfm?Category=Premedical. Current dues are as follows: one year, $35 - two years, $55 - three years, $65 - four years, $75.

4.       Don’t forget that, as a member of our AMSA chapter, that you have access to a $150 discount on Kaplan MCAT preparation courses. For those of you who plan to take the exam this spring, now is the time to prepare. The next Kaplan course begins in October. If you sign up for the course in September, you receive an additional discount.

5.       The first fall medical humanities seminar is coming up this Tuesday, September 25, at noon. The lecturer is Edgar Huang, and his presentation is entitled, “Touching Life: Telling Organ Donation Stories”. The presentation will be held in the Lilly Auditorium, lower level of University Library.

6.       Don’t forget to get registered now for the AMSA region 4 and 6 conference. The early registration deadline is October 1. After that time, registration goes up to $50. If you’re planning to attend, please send a message stating such to info@amsa-iupui.org. Several of us are traveling to Chicago together and sharing a hotel room(s) in order to save much needed cash. The event is October 19-21 at University of Illinois at Chicago School of Medicine. It is entitled, “Doctors Leading Reform: Advocacy and Activism in Medicine”.

Our next meeting will be in the University Library building, room UL 1116, on October 3 at 11:00 AM. We hope to see you all there.
