Present: Kevin, Andrei, Paul, Rosanne, Abraham, Shiran, Aarshi Excused: Rocio, Mahima, Arjun Unexcused: n/a Agenda: Introductions Jazz will make name tags. If not we will make our own Discuss and decide on a physical meeting location (then teams Nora) Decision: consensus for Student Center as committee meeting location Email to LEED regarding registration of prospective student orgs that are part of a local/state/city/national/international org Email to LEED (Charles III) to have him clarify in writing how student organizations that have promoted themselves using Hopkins logo/name can update their online presence to avoid auto-rejection in the new student org application process. Prospective organization fair planning and funding bill (keep under $500?) Purpose: help prospective orgs (and possibly struggling orgs) recruit genuinely interested members and improve continuity/sustainability Funding items: tables (1) (maybe borrow tables from LEED), potentially food but difficult to keep under 500, other prizes like t-shirts, mugs, plushies, etc. (some doubts about the effectiveness of them in attracting students) Organizations: ceramics club, juggling (potentially merging with circus), world beyond war, Location: Hopkins Beach (2), Krieger quad (in front of Gilman) Collab with admin: admin collab comes with restrictions and redtape...attempt to retain student org vetting within SGA? LEED? Date and time: Friday September (maybe 18th) 25th (potentially recurring) Format: product showcase, activity might be possible for some orgs, up to 25 orgs each Friday Promotion/publicity: ask Jason to include this event in a student body email, ask Charles III to give a shoutout at the end of prospective org info sessions hosted by LEED (LEED has a list of interested orgs, ask for access so we can reach out to prospective student orgs that way). Cole’s student org has no officer on their website therefore no editing access Mentioned as a potentially recurring issue, not necessarily a one-off Email Communication platform with student orgs (if time) Next steps Vice chair confirmation next week Reach out to Jason, LEED, and anyone else who is relevant regarding the prospective student org fair Send out emails for agenda items #3, #4, #6 Teams Nora to confirm physical meeting location
