Membership
To be an official member of WISHR, you must attend at least 2 WISHR or WISHR co-sponsored events each semester. These events can be of any type, including general meetings, study breaks, speaker events, community service, career panels, and even holiday parties! Sign-in sheets will be present at each event to record your progress.
Not to worry, your efforts will not go unnoticed! At the end of the year, our top 2 outstanding members will receive prizes for their participation in WISHR. These members will be those who we feel were most dedicated to WISHR this year by going to the most events. We welcome ideas for prizes, but rumor has it that there will be free movie tickets and spa gift cards…
Committees
Finally, we would like to reward those members that have contributed in other ways, mainly our committees. At the end of year, we will evaluate each committee based on several factors, namely diligence, creativity and enthusiasm. The committee that has made the most difference in WISHR will receive an enticing prize for their efforts. Again, suggestions for prizes are more than welcome (e.g. a group outing to Berryline or J.P. Licks).
