More or less, these are the unofficial minutes of the last AEGS meeting:
Members
of AEGS met Thursday, March 29, in the GTA office. Brita told us that
Amy would like snacks at the next faculty workshop. Amy also requested
that we decide what to include in the revised handbook - it was agreed
that a short explanation rather than the whole constitution was
preferable.
Officer Reports: Ariana spoke to
the student affairs office about applying for funding. It's possible
that we could get between $150-400 from them by the end of the year.
Ariana said she would work on getting the paperwork in and see what
happens.
Brita suggested that additional fundraising may be needed to support the group.
Though
Mike is not an officer, he reported that he's working on getting the
blog hosted at the university, which would enable us to have a blog
with the functionality we'd like to have.
Ryan should be working on awards and other alumni liaisons.
Ellen
plans a get together on April 23 for all the grad students, and the
rumor is that Kacie and Jimmy are both interested in holding parties
too.
New Business: We discussed the
constitution draft and improvements to it. Brita took the advice under
consideration and would revise it further.
