Meeting Minutes

Opening
The meeting of the BPKSA was called to order at 12:37pm on Friday, July 5, 2013 in AQ 5004 by Steven.
In attendance
- Steven, Megan, Matt, Debbie, Jade, Jason, Mohammed
Open Issues
- BPK Orientation
- there is talk that the BBQ will remain on Thursday Sept 12th and that the time could possibly move to 12-1:30pm
- this saves us from planning a lunch for the students and also allows us to add another stop on our lab tours if there is interest
- Joyce mentioned the faculty would like to see a teaching lab present on the tour so Steven is going to find out if they just want a tour of a lab or a demonstration done as well (Kin 142 ECG demo is a possibility)
- the Molecular Cardiac Group and Max Donelan have confirmed their labs are available to tour
- Alex emailed Peer Health and we are waiting to hear back
- if they do confirm Steven will try to book the VIP Room (or the area in front of it) for them to present at- as this will keep all the stops in the Lorne Davies Complex saving us travel time
- Matt will continue to check in with Co-op to monitor the passport development
- Steven will talk to the presenters to see what supplies they need
- when Michelle is back from vacation we will talk with her about registration status and the WebSurvey
- promotion will be done through: the website (Megan will create a webpage), emails, phone calls, Facebook, laptops set up at Science Frosh and Week of Welcome (we want a table near B9200), class presentations
- next week we will create the presentation for the Info Session
- Science Rep Visit
- Science Frosh
- will be held Sept 5-6th most likely
- BPKSA should be present at a table with their banner up and members around to promote the DSU
- each DSU is contributing some sort of activity that represents their faculty
- BPK could design an activity for The Carnival or an obstacle course for The Amazing Race
- if you are interested in being a team leader email Jade Andersen at sciencerep@sfss.ca
- Concert
- during the late afternoon/early evening of Sept 13th there will be a huge concert in Convo Mall followed by an after party at the pub
- the list of performers is being finalized and during the 3rd week of July we will be provided tickets to sell
- 75 volunteers are needed for this event and if you are interested email Jade Andersen at sciencerep@sfss.ca
- when registration for BPK Orientation starts “Square Register” may be handy to use
- it just requires students to swipe their credit cards eliminating the need for cash (which usually prevents people from buying tickets as they don’t have cash on them)
- Science Frosh
