Join the Case Western Reserve University Chapter
The below information is usually collected in the fall
semester. Look for announcements for a preliminary chapter meeting open
to all interested students.
Here are step-by-step instructions to follow if you
would like to join:
Step 1. If it is the fall semester,
contact Robert Spadoni to find
out
when the deadline is and whether it has passed.
Step 2. Send an
email to Robert Spadoni with this subject line, all in caps:
STD MEMBER INFORMATION
Include no other text in
the body of this email. Send other correspondence to Professor
Spadoni separately.
In the email, list:
- Your Name
- Permanent Address (not your campus address)
- Email Address
- Graduation Year
Step 3. Send via
intercampus mail or deliver to Robert Spadoni's mailbox in Guilford
211:
- a printout of the email described in Step 2.
- a copy of your
transcript (unofficial okay).
- On this transcript, circle all English
courses you have taken, and on the transcript or a separate sheet
calculate your average for these English courses. The steps you perform
to calculate the average should be clear and easy to follow.
- a check
for $40 payable to Case Western Reserve University. Check with Robert
Spadoni to make sure that the amount is still $40. Checks only, please,
no cash payments will be accepted. IMPORTANT:
In the memo field of the check, write "STD payment for NAME," where
"NAME" is the name of the student seeking membership.
- Staple everything but the check together. Paper clip
the check to the stapled bundle.
Applications not received
by the deadline will not be accepted.
