Events Representative: Hannah Lee During that past couple of week I continued to assist clubs and we recently began to conduct ASG interviews and we have a high possibility of hiring at least two ASG officers. This is a progress that we have made and I hope to improve and learn ways of how we can make more efficient progress.

One of the projects that was created was a New Year’s resolution mural board and I was able to collect 200+ statements from the BC community by asking around from my classes, students, teachers, to even resource programs and educational departments. I also researched on the process of how club chartering functions, project planning, and funding request forms in order to better understand and observe from a student’s perspective on how easy it is to fill out the forms, who the forms goes to, and potentially any changes that should be made/ fixing mistakes etc.
