As part of a graduation requirement at MSOE, each student must become involved as a freshman, I chose to join AIC, the American Institute of Constructors. I had heard many good things about AIC, and the reputation that it holds with businesses nationwide, as well as the individual state chapters. This year, I renewed my application for AIC, and I took on an additional role. My initial plan was to become the webmaster for our School's chapter. Because if this, I was invited to participate in the AIC Mid-Year Conference, held here in Downtown Milwaukee, at the Pfister Hotel. It was here that I learned that I would not only be taking on the responsibility of the School chapter, but also the State chapter. This came as a little surprise, but I am willing and able to take this task on, and perform it to the best of my abilities. It's rather interesting how a simple interest in learning HTML code, could lead to such a great opportunity as this!
