Chapter Activities for You
      The link below will take you to a list that describes
      a typical year of activities that are available
      to you as a member of the chapter. Right
      now, most of the activities reflect programming
      for the undergraduate and mac students' needs.
      We recognize that U-M's SOE GSCO is providing
      programming for the majority of the graduate
      population. If however,there is something that
      you think KDP could provide, please let us know,
      and we will do our best to schedule such an
      activity/event/project. We are very interested in
      serving the needs of our graduate members!
