The Pony Express Professional IMA Chapter held their October technical meeting at The Belt Brewing Company. This months meeting was "Student Night". The chapter has a student night each year to encourage students to attend the monthly technical meetings. On "Student Night" the meal is free to the students ($10 value). There were ten students from Missouri Western at the meeting. The speaker was David Reed from Boehringer Ingelheim.
