Meeting 3 Spring Semester 2012

We had a fabulous meeting today and accomplished a lot.  We welcomed some new members to our meeting today; Jeff, Sydney, Ryan and Adam.  We held elections and the following formerly vacant seats have been elected by the group:

Vice President: Scott

Treasurer:  Kyle

Student Senate Representative:  Kyle

Secretary: Jeff

Marketing Maestro: Sydney

Kat will retain seat as president until the end of the semester and Andrew will remain in office as club documentarian.  Again, the next Student Senate meeting is Thursday, February 2, 2012 3:00PM upstairs CC.  

Tentatively we have decided the date and time for the symposium will be Friday April 20th at noon.  The officers will look into room availability on this date and have more concrete date and times next meeting.  Again we still need presenters, papers, posters or any avenue you would like to communicate your anthropology knowledge to your peers for the symposium.  

We have field trips planned to the Como Zoo to view the primates and to the Science Museum of Minnesota to view the Pirates exhibit, doodle surveys to select the best day are in your email.

We ended the meeting with Part II of entertainment from the previous meeting.  Hope to see you at next Monday's meeting; CLA 125 2:30pm.

Meeting Minutes September 13th, 2011

Anthropology Club meeting for September 13, 2011

President: Kat Richards

Vice President: Scott Sherwood

Treasurer: Shane Blegen

Documentarian: Andrew Contreras

Secretary: Kyle Jensen

In our first order of business today we voted in our new officers.  I’d like to say a quick thank you to all those that will be helping with the club, big or small.  A quick apology if I got any names wrong, I just copied them as well as I could off the sign in sheet.

We began to try and think of ideas for our campus wide event.  We bounced around a few ideas and options.  We finally tentatively decided to try and join our campus event day with another club, preferably in a way that represents both clubs ideals. 

There was talk of seeing if the Multicultural Club might want to seek a joint venture for our event day.  If you have any ideas of what clubs events may possibly align with something we could do, ask the other club what they think and bring it up at our next meeting, or vice versa.

One additional possible idea was to implement Professor Mallery’s stone knapping as a speaker for the day, or a segment of our event.

Any additional ideas or related topics are more than welcomed for Anthropology Club.  Different articles, events, discussions, etc.  Just bring them in on a Tuesday meeting day to share.

A meeting for officers or anyone that would like to help plan out the bigger group meetings will be had on Thursday September 15^th outside the CLA 120 lecture hall at 12:15 PM for about a half hour to discuss scheduling, paperwork, and related topics.

Club Status in Limbo, Seeking a Representative

The anthropology club, (the first in NHCC history), is in full force behind the scenes at North Hennepin.  The officers of the club have been named, we have submitted our paperwork to the Student Life officials and are awaiting the naming of a representative to attend Student Senate meetings.  The Student Senate meets February 23rd, and we are hoping to be on their agenda for approval of our club on that date.  We are all really excited to plan some anthropology related events at North Hennepin and attend events as a group.

We are pleased to introduce the following North Hennepin students and faculty and their roles in the anthropology club:

Dr. Silas Mallery-Advisor, Anthropology Department Faculty

Kat Richards-President

Jonathan Bianchi-Vice President

Steve Goranson-Secretary

Reuben Mugula-Treasurer

Upcoming events and meeting dates and time to be announced pending our approval.
