<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Aptos;color:black;background:white">As you've seen, SCOPE is heavily involved with the planning of the Scottish Conference in Optical Technologies (SCOT, see
</span><a href="https://www.scotconference.org/"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Aptos;background:white">https://www.scotconference.org/</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Aptos;color:black;background:white">). The SCOPE committee
has taken a bit of a manpower hit recently due to various reasons, as a result of this we are currently down to 3 active committee members from our previous 8. We are looking to obtain new committee members to help out immediately with SCOPE and SCOT, with
these new members having the potential to take over the SCOPE committee via AGM once SCOT is over. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Aptos;color:black;background:white">New members will assist in planning SCOT, this is seriously a fantastic opportunity and I cannot emphasise enough how valuable getting involved with this can
be for your CV and job opportunities! Helping us will provide you with leadership and management skills, along with direct access to company sponsors. Considering the current economic climate, the opportunity to meet your employers and make a name for yourself
is vital.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

We are also organising SCOT with 4 other university student chapters (Glasgow, Heriot-Watt, Dundee, St Andrews), so it is now just SCOPE doing all the heavy lifting. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
