Hi members,

General Dynamics Mission Systems invites you to learn how we build resilient mission systems and leverage technology to continually advance cybersecurity. We will also provide advice on how students can ensure success as they transition into their first industry job. Additionally, if you are looking for either a full-time or internship position, please feel free to stick around afterwards and discuss positions with our technical staff. Pizza will be provided, so come on by and meet with us on November 11, 6-7:30pm in AVW 2460.

There will be opportunities to socialize with the employees, so if you are looking for a job, or are just curious about what General Dynamics is doing, come on out.

Hello everyone,

You can also use this as an opportunity to complete some or all of your interviews. Be sure to print and bring the interview sheets from the inductee packet if you plan on doing this

Hi HKN Inductees,

Thanks to those of you that came out during Maryland Day. There are a few induction items I would like to address:

Induction Ceremony

The induction ceremony will be held on Wednesday, May 6 at 6:30 in AVW2328. You must attend the ceremony in order to be inducted (unless you have made prior arragements with us). Before that you must also complete the induction exam, wheatstone bridge replica, and member interviews, which will be described below. The dress code is Business Casual.

In addition, elections will take place at this time. All positions need to be filled since most of the current HKN officers are graduating. The officer positions available include:

•  President <—— you need to be a current HKN exec board member to run for this
• Vice President
• Treasurer
• Induction Chair
• Fundraising Chair
• Outreach Chair
• Professional Chair
• Webmaster

Please give this some consideration.

Induction Exam

The Inductee Exam will be held on Monday, May 4th at 7:00 pm in AVW2328. This is a mandatory requirement for induction. See the study packet here on what topics will be covered. If you cannot make it, please let me know ASAP so we can make arrangements for you to take the exam during the week.

Wheatstone Bridge Replica

The Wheatstone Bridge Replica is due on the day of induction. Look in the induction packet for details. You can get as creative as you want with this project.

Member Interviews

Due to the lack of events and inductee-office interactions this semester, I will make the following arrangement: We can do a group interview during the induction exam with me and a couple of HKN officers who show up this Monday and on the day of the induction ceremony. You need to do a minimum of three, two of which have to be officers. If you have already done the interviews, you can turn in your sheets either this Monday or Wednesday. Basically, if you haven’t done them already, don’t worry since you will have an opportunity to complete this before or on Wednesday.

Closing Remarks

It looks like most of you who have paid their dues are on track to earn enough points. If you have any questions, please let me know at my email: cwallac3@terpmail.umd.edu.

Thank you for bearing with us and we look forward to have you join HKN!

Chad Wallace, Inducion Co-Chair
