We will be offering the positions to candidates by tomorrow We met to discuss about the student and activities allocations for the upcoming year since I have membership in the committee. I have met with a student from the north campus several times and we discussed possibilities of them joining the main campus as it seems that it is a concern that is expressed by several students. I will be meeting with the Vice president of administrative services to discuss about the policy for food with meetings and how it will affect students’ organizations.

 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. Additionally, I also continued to assist clubs and one of them was the ISA club that hosted an event last Friday (1/31/20) with the purpose of celebrating New Years around the world, which gives the BC community an opportunity to explore and engage in learning different cultures and to enjoy food/have fun! 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.
