Now that school has started once again, PLUG is gearing up for an active semester filled with exciting activities.  If you’d like to be involved in planning out this semester, I will be holding an office hour in the PLUG office (LWSN B128) on Thursdays from 6-7pm. I hope that the office hour can eventually evolve into a regular meeting time if possible.

Our callout will be on Thurs, Sept. 10 at 7pm in BRNG 1230. Free pizza and drinks!
