MAGE

MAGE is a student organization at MSOE for anyone interested in anime, gaming, science fiction, and chess. We organize events throughout the year and many of our members are open for a “pick up” game anytime. Stop by our office (CC 345) to hang out, play a game, and find out more about MAGE. While you’re there check our bulletin board for news on our events and others we hear about in the area.

Our meetings are held every week–except Finals Week and during breaks–at Noon in the Student Organization Conference room behind the MSOE Bookstore on the 3rd floor of the Cudahy Student Center. The first meeting this year will be on Monday September 8th (the first day of school). All no-meeting weeks will posted ahead of time on our bulletin board.

For more news on MAGE and our events, sign-up for our mailing list at http://lists.msoe.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mage-list or by signing the sheet passed around at each weekly meeting.

As always the first MAGE meeting will have FREE PIZZA for anyone who attends. We will also be giving out MAGE shirts to anyone who becomes a member, while supplies last. Since we are running low on shirts we will be getting some more sometime this year. Probably with a contest for a new shirt design.

The meeting will be at 12pm next week Monday, the 10th, in the student orgs conference room. If you do not know how to get there, please refer to this map.

This past weekend we helped out with a few of the Welcome Week events. Some members attended the movie night where they showed Final Countdown. We also assisted with the Trouble Tournament by giving out free t-shirts. Allen Long took second place in the tournament winning a DVD player.

MAGE is now the proud owner of a Flickr account and a Yahoo ID. Our first image has been uploaded. Soon we will begin to upload more images, and implement a gallery for viewing them on the site. Without further adieu, here is our first image!

Today there is an open house in the CC building. MAGE is attending as usual. We have one less table at this open house, probably due to there being a greater number of clubs attending this one. Feel free to stop by if you are in the area.

For all those interested, the Chair positions are now open for application to. The currently active chairs are:

1. Anime
2. Chess
3. Convention
4. Gaming
5. Magic
6. Scifi
7. Social

If none of these are of interest or you’d like to do something that you think a chair position could be opened for, you may apply for those as well, such as Video Gaming chair, which we’ve had in the past. If you missed being elected as an executive or just want to get your feet wet in helping MAGE run its various activities, holding a chair position is an excellent way of getting the valuable experience needed to make yourself more valuable and viable to be an executive officer in coming years. So, if you’d like to fill a chair position, check your email for the chair position application or download it here, and either email it to the current secretary, Allison Block, or print it off and hand to any executive or chair currently in office. Best of luck to all who apply!

Edit: Thanks to everyone who attended!

We of MAGE wish you all a safe and happy holiday break and hope to see you all in two weeks for the resumation of winter quarter January 8th. There are many important things that’ll be happening after the break. For firsts, Anime Night will be kicking off the MAGE event list with 3 new series, Martian Successor Nadesico, Samurai 7 and Vandread in the Todd Wehr Auditorium at 8 pm. Scifi Night makes its long awaited return to existence Wednesdays at 8 pm in the Schroeder room with Stargate SG-1 and Andromeda. And finally, that weekend, MAGE is hosting their second convention of the year, SnowCon, which we’ve been in the process of planning for the past few months. Don’t forget the MAGE meeting, which occurs Mondays at noon in the Student Conference Room, when officer nominations will begin. Any MAGE member is eligible to hold an officer position, so if you think you would like to help shape MAGE’s direction for the coming year, run for a position. And finally, the Convention meeting is Wednesdays at 6 in the MAGE office, where we will make final preparations for SnowCon and move on to working on our biggest convention of the year, Concinnity!

Again, happy holidays from all of the officers and chairs of MAGE and hope to see you all again next year!
