CRAS AES Weekly Meeting Flyer
Meeting began at our usual 8pm time. Many first cyclers joined us! We went around and introduced ourselves. Many were re-introductions, but lots of new faces!
CRAS AES is the most active student organization, but we want to boost membership. We want to change that by making sure people get signed up! Niko noted that by going to the AES convention, he was offered two internship opportunities. As Niko says: "It works".
We explained how internship opportunities come up in the AES meetings. Internship opportunities are great for real world experiences, as well as networking opportunities! For example Nitro band is a very good gig to get involved with.
First cyclers are already interested in certifications. There's some confusion in how it works exactly. It's recommended that you budget your schedule wisely, so you can hit the ones you want. Also, go to the bootcamps!
CJ mentioned that if you play an instrument, sing, rap, etc sign up for the musician database! Many of us are musicians, and it'll be great for us to express our creativity as well as the technical side of CRAS.
