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.
