Message From The Chair...
... Kory D. Staheli
Welcome to the first issue of the newly designed RIPS Newsletter! It seems only appropriate that we have a new
Newsletter to begin the new academic year, after all, we have a new name for our SIS, a new executive board,
several new committees and committee chairs, and many new members. There also appears to be a new enthusiasm
among RIPS members. Hopefully we can use that enthusiasm to accomplish much good during the coming year.
If you haven't been active in the SIS for a while, come back and take a look at the new things we are doing! If you
are new to the SIS and haven't taken the opportunity to get involved yet, do it now! New and rewarding experiences
await you!
The RIPS Executive Board has been working diligently since spring to come up with a plan for the coming year.
That plan was finalized in Baltimore at our Executive Board Meeting. A brief overview of the plan was presented
to those in attendance at the RIPS Business Meeting on Sunday, where committees were also formed and charges
given. A more detailed overview of what we would like to accomplish during the coming year is set forth below.
First and foremost, we would like to get a RIPS Web Page up
