> 5. New Summer Mailing
>
> Recent discussions amongst the members of the Association of Student
> Activities Executive Board have reminded us that many groups have trouble
> both recruiting new members and maintaining institutional memory in the
> face of the typical four year turnover rate for undergraduates and only
> slightly higher rate for graduate students. While many companies will have
> people working full-time for years, giving ample time to learn "on the
> job", student groups rarely have that luxury.
>
> Building on the success of the First Year Summer Mailing (the original
> FYSM), the Association of Student Activities will be producing a Fifth (or
> Fiftieth) Year Summer Mailing to encourage alumni participation in our
> student groups. Of course, alumni participation must be limited --- under
> ASA rules, at least half of any group must be students --- but some alumni
> members can both boost the size of a group and provide valuable long-term
> stability and knowledge.
>
> We hope you will take advantage of this valuable recruitment opportunity.
> The FYSM can be previewed at https://asa.mit.edu:444/db2.0/fysm/. new
> entries can be submitted at
