September 14, 2012

·         Welcome

·         Officer Reports

-Vice President: 1^st year speeches went really well – many came in attendance. Thought about having Senate approve minutes at every meeting (may want to add something to the minutes, take away, etc.). Ms. Beth and Mr. Chris from the Bookstore want feedback – wants to speak to the officers. Finalized the Senate Retreat, and wants to incorporate a powerpoint presentation of Robert’s Rules.

-Allocations: Planning for 1^st meeting (September 25^th). 4 or 5 organizations are planning to be in attendance and will be expressing thoughts about the “We Choose Honor” campaign.
