ASCIT Board of Directors Meeting
Minutes for June 2, 2017. Taken by Dana He.
Officers Present: Sakthi Vetrivel, Kavya Sreedhar, Rachael Morton, Sarah Crucilla, Alice Zhai, Dana He
Guests: None
Call to Order: 1:32 pm
President’s Report (Sakthi):
• Had lunch with Deans today. Proposal to have “Frosh Camp” for sophomores and possibly other grades as well.
• Would like to map out routes students take at night so security knows what areas to patrol and possibly put more lights in those areas.
• Many students still unsure about the Good Samaritan Policy and are hesitant to call security for help. Will write a Tech article to clear this up.
• Proposition to bring back freshman dinners. Could have some sort of assigned seating to increase interaction between houses and/or be just between two houses that don’t interact as much.
Officer’s Reports:
V.P. of Academic Affairs (Kavya):
• ASCIT teaching awards happened last night. Suggestion to change location from the Athenaeum to decrease costs in future years.
• Committee appointments due soon.
V.P. of Non-Academic Affairs (Rachael):
• IHC retreat happening this weekend.
• Bechtel focus groups are currently in action.
• Looking for an IHC faculty advisor.
• IHC planning for rotation is going well.
• Not all IHC committee appointments are filled, will put more sign-ups under the Ricketts-Fleming arches.
Director of Operations (Sara):
• Ruddock would like equipment from Fleming for Ruddock Frosh Party.
• Proposition to buy an aux cable for the ASCIT screening room, probably around $10 - $20.
Treasurer (Sarah):
• A lot of money requests in the past week. The only new request was $1,000 for ASCIT teaching awards. Also a request for money from the IHC budget for Bechtel surveys.
• Have a good amount of money left over (~$45,000, not including new requests), which could roll over to next year or be put in savings account. Uncertain about accuracy of record-keeping from last year. Will send out email with deadline to turn in receipts for reimbursement.
Social Director (Alice):
• Dodgers game happening next Friday. Buses will leave at 6 pm, and the game will begin at 7 pm. Tickets will be given to the first 50 people who sign up.
Secretary (Dana):
• Will update Olive Walk display case with new ASCIT Board of Directors.
