Academic 4-15-2015

MEETING START TIME: 5:33 pm
ATTENDANCE: Succi, Chairwoman Oliver, Garcia, Inkley, Curtis, Tang, Chairwoman King
DISCUSSION:
College Liasions
Chairwoman King: A project I would like SOARC and Academic to work on for next year is to find funding for academic groups.
First step talking to the deans and finding out how to actually fund them.
Most student orgs aren’t active enough for the college to keep track of active groups. CELS suggested when we do re-rec that we let the colleges know which one are actually active and their status.
Send each college during re-rec, a list of active academic groups to the college and give them a person to contact

Binders for Liasions
Making new binders for next semester
Resource on whats going on in the college, contact information, clubs associated with the college, majors associated with the college
Make a section on what you should talk to your dean about each month
First thing to do next semester, is talk about funding for academic groups
“How to talk to your dean about funding”
“What to talk to your dean about”
When emailing your dean the report when you met with them, cc all the other deans for the college
Bio and contact info page of every single person in the college- including professors for academic complaints
Past Liasion reports
New template yay
Each binder can be very specific to each college
All forms such as add/drop forms – but be wary of ones that can become outdated
When do your switch from UC to your actual college
Advice from past liaisons
A headcount of how many people are in each major for the college – Ask Garcia

Liaisons
