2018-11-19 Officer Meeting

Isai: Intro to CSCI major

Helen: Website page and event
Isai: Helen came up with an event where, at the beginning of the semester, we would have upperclassmen tell freshman what classes to take and which professors are good and stuff like that
Isai: I think this could replace one of the Think Talks next semester
Isai: We don't have SSF money for this because we already sent in the request but the department might fund it
Ari: We could potentially market this as an academic think talk
Ari: This should definitely happen before class registration in the Spring

Isai: Board games

Isai: We have all these board game nobody plays taking up space in the cabinet
Isai: I think we could either donate them or auction them off and give it to charity or something
Ari: There also might be other clubs that want them (board games club)
consensus: who cares

Isai: Event attendance

Isai: We've had some think talks with less than stellar attendance this semester
Isai: I think events held in Keller are way better attended than event in any other building
Ari: The last one wasn't that poorly attended, it was just a very big room
Isai: Helen reserved a room every Tuesday and Thursday in Keller so we don't have this problem again
Isai: Also in the future events should be at 6:00 PM; 7:00 is too late

Isai: Think Talk with students

Isai: MinneRSO

Isai: We talked about this at the MinneHack meeting
Isai: The consensus seemed to be that we should just work with the department ahead of time instead of trying to run two groups
Louis: ACM has a good thing going, part of which is the ability to make purchases at short notice
Louis: It would be a mistake to compromise on the ability to do things like that, and it would be hard to go back on the decision once we make it
Ari: The department wants us to succeed and for MinneHack to continue to be a good event, we just need to work within what they can allow us to do

Ari: Buy gaff tape

Two weeks from now, Louis will have a list of systems stuff that needs to be bought for MinneHack
including gaff tape, probably
Louis: Can we get like 5 stacking totes?
Ari: Tell Helen to find space in the budget
