How many meetings do I need to attend?

You have two options. You can choose to attend (4) FIS Thursday night Speaker meetings and (1) Business Career Center sponsored event or you can attend (3) Speaker meetings and (2) BCC events. Attending the Kickoff does count for one meeting. Whichever route you take you must still attend (1) Community Service event along with other FIS members. It is not mandatory to attend the Chicago trip. You can find out more about these events over on the the Events Page.

What do I wear to the speaker meetings?

Students should stick to the ‘business casual’  dress code. Just make sure to avoid hats, jeans, sweatpants, tennis shoes, etc. Here are some examples of business casual to follow.

How much are the membership dues?

Membership dues are $50 per semester. There are discounts for paying early. Membership dues help subsidize the cost of the Chicago trip, pay for the food before speaker meetings and refreshments at networking events. They also pay for other social events the board chooses for the semester like hockey games, cookouts, ice-cream socials, etc.

Where can I drop off my membership dues?

You can bring your dues to the FIS mailbox in the Undergraduate Student Lounge (Grainger 1250) or Accenture Leadership Center (Grainger 3275) in envelope with name & email.

How do I become a board member?

Elections for board member positions are held at the end of every semester. Members interested in running for a board position give a short speech during the bi-annual Banquet at Gino’s pizza on State St. All board positions are open except for FIS president. The Vice President takes over the responsibility of the President position at the end of the semester.
