Week of 9/26: Campus Group

Week of 9/26: Material Science Engineering Society

For this week's blog, I was sent on a task to find and investigate an on campus organization that deals with material science. To start off my search I went to the MSU Engineering website. I started looking around for groups and found a material science group. The name of this group is the Material Science and Engineering Society. 

I was asked to partake in a meeting of this organization, but since I knew I wouldn't have time I found an email on the website and asked if I could get the run down of the group from a member. I asked about the beliefs, the motives, and what the group does in general. I received an email back saying I would not be able to personally talk to someone on such short notice, however they still answered my questions I had.

I was informed that a major goal of this group is to help find people jobs after college. Being in this group can also help open up internship opportunities which can be very helpful.This would allow me to get experience in my field before I even graduate.

This also allows us students to work together on school work, so I could do better in my studies. This would be a help since I haven't actually met kids that are pursuing a material science degree yet. It could also open up new chances to make some friends with similar interests as me. I am greatly considering joining this group since it is the only group that is relevant to my degree. I think it could open up some good opportunities and maybe even some new friendships.

Thanks for reading! Have a good day.
