Did anyone else get this e-mail in their unity account, or did I make a special list of people since I am 29 and listed as a undergrad?

"Hello! It is nearly fall break and we are just getting ready for our first Nontraditional Student Group meeting. It's taken awhile to get everything sorted out to be our own club but we finally have it finished. First meeting: Date: October 14, 2009 Time: 4-5pm Place: Fox room 104 RSVP: Please reply to this email if you think you will come. Since this is our first meeting we would like to make sure we have plenty of seats available for everyone. During the first part (15-20 minutes) we get acquainted and cover services that are available to NCSU students free of charge. There were many services I did not realize where available for quite awhile when I arrived and some I have just run across. The second part of the meeting we will break up into smaller groups. These small groups or interest groups will be able to work together and encourage each other forward for their educational goals, for example entrance exams or taking trips to graduate schools together. Our meetings are going to be held on the second Wednesday of the the month but we will be sending out a reminder with time, date, subject and place each month. We are looking forward to meeting each of you."

I wonder how many people will show up.

^I don't know, but I am tempted to go check it out just to see what it is, but I probably won't since I don't see food and drinks listed.

Well I went and it was pretty lame. They talked about things like the tutoring center and campus health. The lady from NCSU Transportation said that they sold 600 less parking spots in the Coliseum Deck this year. LOL! It is a group for people about ages 24 and older. If you are interested I can get you the information.

I think the name is ok and makes a little sense since people tend to think of college as something involving people between 18-22 who live in dorms and get drunk on spring break. With that being said, it is also the norm on any campus to have people older than 22 enrolled as an undergrad, or grad student, so I guess there really isn't such a thing as a non-traditional student.
