Cultural Minutes 4-23-2012

MEETING START TIME: 1:05pm

ATTENDANCE: Cicero, Ferreira, Sim, St. Pierre

COMMITTEE DISCUSSION:

  • Rammies
  • The Rammies were supposed to be tonight, but they were postponed
  • Brittany had meeting with Bruce Hamilton earlier this morning and he suggested postponing the Rammies to early next semester due to the lack of voter turnout
  • We really want the quality of the Rammie to mean something to the student body, also April is a hectic month for students so the turn out in attendance may not be what we would like to see
  • Pushing the event to early next semester could be a good thing
    • New students can attend and take interest in groups that are preforming and groups that win Rammies
    • This could be a good recruitment for organizations
    • Kim also suggested maybe holding the Rammies on the night of a President’s meeting
  • Rammies for 2013 maybe in March
    • Would we have two Rammies Award Ceremonies? – something to think about
  • New Cultural Chair
  • Ferreira received an email early last week confirming her acceptance to the School of Medical Technology for next year- a 40 hour/wk internship that will prevent her from remaining on Senate
  • Anyone interested in Chair position would have to get nominated at this Wednesday night’s meeting
    • Cicero interested
  • Fireworks for Homecoming
  • Alumni Association has been emailing Ferreira about funding for fireworks
  • Meeting- May 11th to discuss Homecoming in general, including fireworks- need a rep- Cicero
    • Meeting will be located in the Alumni Center conference room at 1pm
