Open Issues
àBPKSA Event: Laser Tag
- Event last week went really well; subsidized for everyone who attended (11 people)
- Games were 30 minutes instead of 20 minutes
- Sent in grant proposal (originally $130 and $50 from core) but we only used $132
- Motion to reimburse Loryn for $132 was motioned by Kirsten and seconded by Sam. Motion was unanimously approved
àBPK Career Night
- Food room can only be facilitated by classrooms in Saywell Hall; Josh will continue to look into it
- Booths will be in the open area by the staircase leading to Saywell Hall
- Kirsten will get a photo and biography of the kinesiologist interested in attending career event (send to Matt or Cheri)
- Multiple kinesiologists will be present for the presentation
- Josh will get photos and biographies for his uncle (dentist) and cousin (doctor) (send to Matt or Cheri)
- 2 breakout sessions with 2 presentations each
- We still need a PT
- Double panel for Kin?
- Massage therapy schools will be invited as a booth speaker as well as BCIT
- Have med and PT last due to their popularity; have dentistry first
- Sabrina will be working on the Career Night booklet and will hopefully have them done before Christmas break
- Lab Tours prior to Career Night
- Lab tours? Possibly only two labs due to time constraint. We had 45-60 people for 2014
- If we decide to do the lab tours, then we need to contact professors soon who may be interested in showcasing their lab
- Labs are good for recruiting grad students and future researchers
- We can talk to Tom (GPC chair) regarding lab tours or approach professors directly
- Perhaps getting lab demonstrations at the undergrad level for easier understanding
- Possible ideas for lab: Victoria’s and Damon’s
àClothing
- Ty will have update on t-shirt design by tomorrow morning
