Sponsor Announcement

We would like to thank The Ratliff Group.  They met with the team earlier this week.  The Ratliff Group has agreed to continue their relationship with Coppell Solar.  We are happy to announce that the Ratliff Group will continue as a Gold level sponsor for the 2012 season.

The Ratliff Company, LLC was founded in 2002 with the goal of providing independent representation for the Commercial Development and Automotive Industry that was missing in the market at that time. Since then, the firm has been honored to be involved in a wide variety of projects and to continues to perform projects for former and repeat clients, their friends and business associates.

We invite you to see more about The Ratliff Group at www.ratliffgroup.com.

Mentor/Volunteer Orientation Change

Sorry for the change, but we have to move the mentor/volunteer orientation to a new day.  We will offer it on two different days.  Tuesday 9/27 and Thursday 10/6.  Both will be at 7pm still.  We are trying to get the lecture hall.  If that doesn't work, we will meet in C203.  Thanks for your understanding.

Parade

The students had a lot of fun in the Homecoming Parade on Monday.  Here is a photo of the Solar Car as it made its way down the parade route.  If you have other photos to add, please send them in.  We will also be uploading these to our photo site.
