More interaction requested from clubs at CAB meetings
The Campus Activities Board covered much business in the Tuesday meeting, including allocating money for a seminar for students on professional development and announcing the new CSC student trustee. Many clubs also announced their upcoming events.
President Christine Kambarami started the meeting with the request that “If you’re in the ‘Gotcha’ game, please don’t shoot anyone during the meeting.”
CAB allocated $1,300 to help fund guest speaker Olivia Weter’s seminar on professional development which is April 20. Seth Hulquist, adviser, said Weter charges $1,450 for the two- hour seminar. Career and Academic Planning Services is paying $600 toward the event, and the Health Professions Club is donating $100. Hulquist said that of the $1,300, $750 will cover the rest of the seminar’s cost, while the remaining $550 will cover other expenses including marketing, fliers, and nicer prizes for the “Dress for Success” competition which will follow the seminar. Any remaining money will be returned to CAB, Hulquist said.
Trevor Dietrich, student trustee, said that last week the governor appointed Riley Machal, junior of Gretna, as the new CSC student trustee.
There was some discussion about Scholastic Day, which is Friday. Kambarami said that RLA is having a barbecue and games from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. She requested that club reps who aren’t doing anything Friday see if Laure Sinn, coordinator of student activities, needs help. Laure Sinn, adviser, reminded students to, “be safe, have fun, and be aware of what’s going on.” She said she didn’t want to see any students’ names in the police log.
Luke Wright, secretary, said the CAB account contains $3,296.43.
He said the budget meetings went well.
Senate approved the clubs’ budgets Monday. The Senate Finance Committee wants clubs to discuss their activities more in the CAB meetings. Wright said that if the committee hears that a club is more active, it might affect how much money that club receives.
Budget appeals are 6:30 p.m., April 5. Clubs who want to appeal the Finance Committee’s decisions should attend, as should inactive clubs or those who didn’t submit a budget packet.
Jaqueline Valero, a student who works for Laure Sinn, asked the club reps for help making a video of the campus and upcoming club events as a promotion for the college.
Jazzy Seumalo, special and cultural events coordinator, said there will be a luau 5 p.m. April 7 in the Student Center Ballroom for Asian Pacific Island Month. Tickets are free for students with their ID and cost $7 otherwise.
Kyle Klammer, vice president, said the floor would open for executive board nominations at the next CAB meeting. CAB reps who want to run for the executive board have to have been a member of CAB for at least one semester.
Jamie Keller, secretary, said the Pit is looking for co-sponsors for a foam dance.
