Attending: Scott, Caroline, Anthony, Will, Faith, Fadime, Alan, Tricia 

Question to Tricia: LGBTQ+ resource library – Is there anything reps need to do?

  • Answer from Tricia: No, at this point there’s nothing else to be done! Everything should be taken care of!

Incentivizing service roles- any ideas? Can ask APO if they now have a better idea of the budget

  • Tricia says that she has more knowledge on the MIT side of things, but that either research stipends or gift cards do not seem out of the question 

Alan/Fadime: Thinking about starting an Oyster Pond Garden (student maintained): 

  • Initial estimates of costs are approximately $3000 at the moment to create the garden (clearing out, building a fence), buy tools, seeds, etc. The budget also includes a BBQ/Social event. 
  • The Reps could fund the tools and social events, but the cost of clearing out and building a fence may have to come from a different source. 

First-year naming ceremony status: 

  • This Friday is the cut-off for the voting ceremony 
  • Date is TBD 
  • Faith is currently composing a budget,
