• Alumni Weekend
  • Derek Frose (Previous CSA President) asked us for help in scheduling a CS/CIS Alumni reunion during Alumni Weekend from April 4-5
  • Derek also wanted us to invite current CS/CIS students to network with alumni, as many of them have companies themselves.
  • We will look into something for this.
    
• Tutoring
  • Mason presented his finalized plan for tutoring
  • Need to determine what would be required for providing a letter of reference.
    • If the tutor is excelling in their role, then when their name is sent to the school at the end of the semester, we will also ask the school for a reference letter based on their work.
  • Keep the hiring of tutors as lenient as possible
  • Letter of reference is NOT guaranteed.
  • Get in touch with Raechel to advertise our tutoring program.
  • Mason will manage the tutoring program (hiring, setting up the ticket tool, sending names to the school of computing, etc)
    
• Workshops
  • Mason presented an outline for workshops and how the CSA can support workshop hosters.
  • Must create a sign-up form for those intending to host workshops.
    • We can support these hosters (e.g., first-time workshop hosters, logistics)
  • Email Alana or Raechel to spread the message about the CSA’s eagerness to host and support workshops.

Action items

• Mason will finalize the letter of reference situation and start setting up the ticket tool.
• Mason will create the sign up form for the workshops.
• Everyone needs to look into finding cheaper options for merch.
• Continue looking into the open-source project proposed in the last meeting
