Officers Present: Sakthi Vetrivel, Erika Salzman, Sarah Crucilla, Varun Shanker, Dana He, Alice Zhai, Rachel Sun
Guests: None.
Call to Order: 12:18 PM
President’s Report (Sakthi):
• A survey was sent out regarding the budget to give feedback. There were a lot of people who had a lot of non-budget related issues. If anyone has any questions or issues, feel free to email Sakthi. We would like to thank the student body for giving us feedback on the budget.
• Meeting with Felicia on Wednesday regarding safety at interhouses. Page interhouse was cancelled because too many people were sent to the hospital and security was stretched thin. Orange watch ideas included incentives for people who volunteer and for them to patrol the houses.
• We would like to cut midnight pizza during prefrosh weekend from the budget and have admissions cover it. We would fund alternative events during interhouses instead.
• ASCIT retreat is this weekend. We will have minutes from that retreat as well.
• For next term, interim social director is David Berger and interim treasurer is Irene Chang.
