Meeting 5, Spring Semester 2012

I am happy to report that our membership has been growing by leaps and bounds this semester in the Anthropology Club.  We have a few events planned for subsequent gatherings and events during our meetings.  Unfortunately, the response from the doodle surveys for selecting dates for prospective events has been uninspired.  It has been decided that a vote will be taken at the next meeting, (February 27, 2012), for those interested in attending either the Como Zoo or the Science Museum to view the Pirates exhibit.  

The symposium is well underway and the event form has been submitted.  We are still accepting submissions for papers/presenters/posters or otherwise.  The date again will be April 20, 2012.  The lecture hall and a smaller room have been reserved for whatever form of presenting we decide as a club.

We will resume the entertainment that was started at the last session and if time permits, begin new entertainment.  Just a reminder that there is no school next Monday in observance of President's Day.  Our next meeting will be held February 27, same place and time; CLA125 at 2:30pm.      

Below you will find the meeting minutes and notes from the last meeting.

Meeting 5 Re-Cap

Here is a brief summary of what went on at our last meeting.

We voted for historian/ documentarian.  Andy and some others will be taking on this role.

Officers meeting will be taking place on Mondays @ 1:30.

We have decided to approach the funding request for King Tut admission from a different angle by asking the Dean of Fine Arts to fund this trip, or possibly see if we can receive a grant.  Jon and Kat will be meeting with the Dean on Friday April 8th.

Planned Activities and Business:
Apply for a budget & funding for t-shirts/event.

Study group is still in the works, Kelly and Kat will be meeting with Joe Crow to finalize the group on Tuesday April 12th.  In the meantime, if anyone is interested or seeking study help Dr. Mallery is always happy to help with office hours Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Jeopardy plans include  a computerized version of the game so the request for note cards with questions no longer applies.

Proposed ideas for our "What is Anthropology?" Week:

Establish a budget for food, supplies, prizes etc.

Potential Bribes:

Buttons
Stickers
Cupcakes, cookies, candy

Other ideas:

Trivia questions
Anthropology Brochures
Games

Other business:
Still need logo and posters, (Kat promises to work on both this weekend).

Please complete the doodle survey for the MIA field trip if you wish to attend, it would be nice to get that event date settled soon.  There is a link in the margin, or you can follow the link listed below.

The U of M undergrad Anthropolgy Conference is this weekend at the Landscape Arboretum.

If you wish to contribute to the "What is Anthropology?" Week, please contact Kat, Jon or Dr. Mallery.
