Thanks to all of our members who came to any of our events this week! Geek Week was a huge success and it’s great to see a bunch of new faces!

Here’s a quick recap and reminders for the next few weeks.

Tuesday September 4th: First chapter meeting with USAA!

We’d like to thank James Hunter and Clayton Bynum from USAA for coming out and talking with us. Both Clayton and James are Bobcat Alumni, and provided incredible insight into how a large, long-standing company like USAA is still able to innovate.

We are extremely thankful for their insight to our questions, and to USAA as a whole.(And thanks for the Pizza!)
