- Orientation meeting: Attended the meeting last night. Big events are dessert night and dance party. Sid Pac will also be doing a dance party on the Friday before Ashdown dance party. They will also have a cultural festival. Sid Pac will also do a BBQ on a Saturday (Sep 2nd). Events committee has asked for funding. They have received some funding for example for the dance party. Will try to learn more about the funding allocation. There has been some discussion on how undergrads will participate in the orientation events.
- A question has been raised on friends of undergrads coming in to the events. Because of the free food, there might be interest from them to attend. Number of undergrads in Ashdown will be low. GRT will be housed in Ashdown.
- Open Floor
- There seem to be a lot of incorrect check in of items. It should be communicated with Denise.
- Messages have been sending out about house policies. It is always a summer thing with new people coming in. The website needs to be updated.
- Fall retreat: we will wait for now. We should set the dates now to plan in advance.
Meeting adjourned.
