Opening:
The meeting of the BPKSA was called to order at 11:30am by Crystal in the BPK Conference Room. Minimum quorum of 4 executive members reached.
In Attendance:
Crystal Lefebvre ……….……………………………………………………………………………………. President
Jaskarn Grewal …………………………………………………………………………………………. Treasurer
Emily Chinn.…………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Secretary
Brandon Lin ……………………………………………………………………………. Promotional Coordinator
Nicole Whittle
Santiago Matilla
Open Issues:
1) Approval of Previous Minutes
- Notes regarding the Science Career Development event were revised. A kinesiologist, Xelliece, was a speaker during the Disability Management session at the Careers in BPK event
- Brandon motioned to approve the revised meeting minutes of 2018-02-06. Jaskarn seconded. Minutes approved unanimously
2) Recap of the Rock Climbing Social
- SFU Rec charged us for 12 attendees, but there may have been a few more people that were only there for part of the time
- Holding the event at a different time likely would have led to better turn out
- The event cost us $12 after contributions from admission price and the SFSS grant
3) UBC Physio
- Sheila would like do a 1-hour presentation about the UBC Physio program. She is willing to do two sessions to accommodate more students
- Darleen suggested the week of March 12-16th instead of 19-23rd
- Crystal will email Sheila about doing the presentations Monday 12:30-1:30 and 1:30-2:30 on either March 12 or March 19
4) Kin Cup
- Santiago thought most people going to Kin Games would prefer to do Kin Cup before they leave
- Santiago will bring up the dates at the next Kin Games meeting and discuss having a box for donations to a charity
- We have not heard back from the faculty yet about which dates/times work for them
5) BPK Research Day
- Friday April 6th 2018
- The event is expected to cost approximately $3500 and they are asking us to help fund Research Day
- The BPK Graduate Student Association made a large contribution to have the BPK Student Lounge constructed, so we feel that we should make a contribution to Research Day
- We will decide how much to contribute next week when there are more people at the meeting
6) Trivia Night
- Highland Pub booking does not include food or drinks, so the cost would not be worth it to host the event there
- Crystal will look into booking Wings for trivia night, since our social event there was successful
7) BPK Clothing Sale
- Clothing order has been placed
- We are expecting to receive clothing at the beginning of April, but Crystal will find out if it is possible to pick up before Kin Games
Adjournment:
The meeting of the BPKSA was adjourned by Crystal at 12:20pm in the BPK Conference Room. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 28, 2018 at 11:30am in the BPK Conference Room.
