Yes, very much so

3. What functions should the SSTI perform? *

Host webpages listing all space physics people and activities

Fund management

Help in proposal preparation

Host an interdepartmental educational program

Offer (physical) meeting spaces

Host a seminar series (e.g., SSTI seminars)

Outreach to local Aerospace companies and laboratories

Offer engineering resources and laboratory infrastructure for future proposals

Free espresso/coffee machines in common areas!
