3) BPK Orientation/Welcome Day

-tentative schedule:

2:15-2:30 pm: Registration (maybe in BPK Seminar Room?)

2:30-2:35 pm: Migrate for icebreakers (maybe book a gym/field or use field near TASC)

2:35-3:10 pm: Icebreaker

3:10-3:15 pm: Migrate for Career Development Workshop

3:15-3:45 pm: Career Development Workshop (will need to book a room for this)

3:45-3:50 pm: Migrate to Speaker Series (BPK Seminar Room?)

3:50-4:30 pm: Speaker Series + Refreshments (will also need a room for this)

4:30 pm: Wrap-up + Swag Bags

-for the speakers would like to have a research prof (Tom or Victoria Claydon), lecturer (Diana Bedoya or Richard Ward), PhD (Christina Hull) and Master’s student (Brent Flodin)

-Megan will contact Brent

-Erina will contact Diana

-Garveen will contact Christina & Victoria

-need to carefully design the speaker series so students aren’t afraid to ask questions yet at the same time are able to hear about each speaker’s story – could model it similar to Career Night (each panel member speaks about themselves for a few minutes then open up the floor to questions) or Tea at Ten (no formal introductions just an opportunity to mingle)

-Kirstin had an idea for an icebreaker game involving the circulation through the heart and an obstacle course

 

4) Summer Kin Cup

-Matt spoke to the grad students and it seems to be a busy time for them

-the UPC meetings have been cancelled as well so a lot of the faculty may be going on vacation

-will unfortunately have to cancel it for this summer

 

5) BPKSA Hike

-last week of July we would like to go on a group hike instead of having a meeting

-Garveen will send out a Doodle poll to figure out what day/time works best
