ASM held its Annual Student Night at Penn State Behrend on Thursday, March 19, 2009, with nearly fifty students, ASM members, college faculty, and chapter friends in attendance. As in past years, we continued our tradition of hosting presentations from local area business and development organizations. Among the presenters at this year's event were representatives from the Gannon Small Business Development Center (SBDC),Ben Franklin Technology Partners, and the Northwest Commission.
Our Featured Speaker was Mr. Tom Tredway of Erie Molded Plastics, who spoke regarding his experiences as a young professional in the Plastics Injection Molding industry. Mr. Tredway shared his experiences at Erie Molded Plastics as well as his past and ongoing involvement with the Young Erie Professionals (YEP) networking organization.
Our Chapter would like to thank Tom, the local organization reps, and everyone who came out to this year's event which proved to be one of themost successful Student Nights in recent memory!
