Welcome Back,
As we begin the Spring 2014 semester, I would like to thank our RSA Board
Members for taking the time and putting forth significant effort to host the fall
RSA functions. However, I would like to note that they could always benefit
from the support of their fellow members. Your college schedules may be de-
manding, but if you can afford the time, your participation will always be appre-
ciated. Your involvement will not only help the organization,
but it can help you grow personally and professionally. We
hope you’ll join us this spring, whether it’s attending meet-
ings, volunteering, or enjoying the awesome events to come.
