Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology Students Association
Meeting Minutes
Monday February 2, 2015
Opening:
The meeting of the BPKSA was called to order by Loryn at 12:30 pm in the BPK Conference Room
In Attendance:
Shaila, Loryn, Steven O, Josh, Garveen, Bogdan, Matt, Erina, Sam, Megan, Jeff, Ross, Ian, Kirstin
Open Issues:
Build SFU
-Ross (Consultation Coordinator) from Build SFU came by to discuss the building of the Student Union Building & the Stadium (the loan was rejected at the general meeting)
-he wanted to do a follow up on what happened & discuss any concerns we may have
-Build SFU and SFSS is trying to figure out the next steps & are surprised with
what has happened, and don’t want it to happen again
-they want students to know that they will be benefitting from this and want current students to know that future students will benefit from this
-the next referendum will probably be online
-students with classes in SFU Surrey or downtown might be able to opt out
-cost:
-$20 per semester = 16 cents per day
-will increase by $10/year and will max out @ $90
-the people paying $90/year will be able to use the building, since the
building is opening up in 2017
-$55 million for the SUB, $10 million for the stadium
-Our Concerns & Issues:
-maybe divide up the loan for the stadium and the SUB
-Stadium mainly benefits the athletes, whereas the SUB can be used by
the general student population
-dividing the SUB and the stadium would be helpful, since more students will get to pay for the SUB
-not a lot of people go to watch games, therefore Stadium may seem useless
-Nap Room
-maybe change it to a study room instead; concerns with whether or not a lot of students be using it often?
-Ross: will be 1200 square ft, & was a very popular idea amongst students
-health and counseling was supportive of the nap room
-will provide for an opportunity to have ergonomics designs in the nap room to incorporate good posture & health and to show how innovative and integrated SFU is
-biggest concern is that people don’t want to pay for it if they cannot use it
-if we vote yes, we’re paying nothing, but the students of the future will get a hike in tuition when they don’t even get a say in the matter
-maybe spend more time to have students see the vision to convince them to pay for it
-advertise that SUB will create community for future students
-ADVERTISE HOW LITTLE THE COST IS AND ADVERTISE THE BREAKDOWN OF THE COSTS; conveying this to the students will convince them
Clothing
–need to advertise new clothing and have people print out forms, fill them out, and drop them off @ the co-op office with the money for their order
-could set up outside co-op office & send the form via Facebook, e-mail, or post it to the BPKSA webpage
-dryfit t-shirt and crewneck are the new articles of clothing
-will not be booking tables in the AQ
-everything unisex, except for T-shirts
-Josh made a poster for the clothing sale, which advertises the new crewneck
-Prices:
-shirts: $20, crewneck: $35, dryfits: $20
-Designs include: heart, brain and lungs
-Shaila can make the form
-dryfit t-shirt: dark navy with a small logo & will be unisex
SUS Updates

-the SUS wants to do a Science Wide Event: Cards Against Humanity Pub Night on March 18, 2015
