Meeting with Dr. Glen Tibbits:
-Dr. Tibbits wants to have a meeting with the BPKSA to discuss concerns, things going well, pros/cons of the program
-Josh sent out a survey to the undergraduates & heard back from 65 people; some general patterns with the responses were:
-inconsistency in marking, courses heavy relative to other departments, issues with
gender & religion in upper division courses labs that require touching (want to see a
gender separation in courses), course scheduling, course offerings
-Every coming up Monday works well for us; Loryn will confirm with Dr. Tibbits & get back to us
-IN ADDITION, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO ADD TO THE LIST OF WHAT YOU WANT TO DISCUSS WITH DR. TIBBITS, E-MAIL LORYN: lbohne@sfu.ca
KIN Games:
-Lea emailed Loryn about using the BPKSA travel funding from the SFSS for KIN Games
-Shaila made the motion for KIN Games to receive the BPKSA travel grant from the SFSS. Ian seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved
High School Visits:
–Darleen wanted us to brainstorm ways of reaching out to high school students; the Dean of Science wants to do promotions to high schools to attract students to Science
-wanted to do calling campaigns like ours, but it might turn out unsuccessful
-would be a better idea to maybe send student recruiters to the high schools
-the faculty could pay undergraduates to go to high schools in their areas to promote
Science to the grade 12’s; -$25 to compensate gas is how the department pays back
-can also send out letters next year; this is what we’ll be doing for the new BPK students
coming in next year
-Josh will email Darleen & let her know what we discussed
