Meeting 4 Spring Semester 2012

Hello Anthropology Club Members,

Below you will find the meeting minutes from the last meeting, held on 2/6/12 at 2:30.  As always, our meetings are held every Monday at 2:30 in CLA 125.  The meetings usually last an hour, occasionally longer if we are involved in entertainment or heated discussions.  Our officers meetings are held weekly meeting in our club office at 1:30pm, (CC 225), all officers are expected to attend or communicate their expected absence.      

We are still awaiting responses from the doodle survey sent out with the last club email.  Many of you may have a junk mail filter that does not allow an email with a link to go to your inbox, please check your junk mail folder if you have not received this.  The last meeting minutes had two doodle survey links within the email, one for a date to attend the Como Zoo and one for a date to attend the Science Museum Pirates exhibit.  Pending information discussed at the last meeting, the AC may attend Pirates on February 22nd at 7pm.  A future email will confirm or deny this date.  

The AC symposium planning is in the works.   The date will be April 20th beginning at noon.  We are reserving two rooms for presentations/posters, etc. We have started a sign-up for student presenters.  Please contact a club officer or Dr. Mallery if you would like to participate.  

The AC has also decided to joint-host Stress Relief Day with the Veterans Club per their invitation to our club.  Our specific involvement has not yet been decided.  

Please join us at the next meeting, we will be partaking in some entertainment and enjoying some food.

Additionally, our first Officer's Meeting with new elected officials was held February 6 at 1:30PM in our club office; CC225.  All officers are expected to attend weekly officers meetings.

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.
