Any of those dates will work for me. 

Perhaps March 7th as it will give them time to get ready, but not too much that they forget?

Hi Folks,

The calendar and other system are reminding me to work on this semester's advisory meeting.  We need to choose a date and finalize the agenda. 

Below is what I have so far, let me know what you want for a day/time. Also let me know any agenda items to add or delete. Just so you know, I need to contact Marlene and Janet about the AAS options. I think they are planning changes.
