Student Steering Committee
As we move forward in this
New Year, the Student Steering Committee
(SSC) wishes to keep SNAME’s general membership informed of the events
and achievements of our many Student Chapters. Starting with this issue of the

one of our schools. We begin this month with the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology’s Student Chapter.

The SSC will be contacting
other chapters through their representatives to identify spotlights for the
upcoming months. If your chapter is interested, feel free to contact John Hootman,
the SSC Vice Chair, at jhootman@mit.edu.
If you do not know who your representative is, they can be found on the Contacts
