The meeting was held at noon in the BGSA lounge.
Attendance– 9 Biological Science Graduate Students
Budget Overview. Michelle C. and Phil O. presented the budget and highlighted the following items:
Activity grants- The BGSA will be applying for activity grants to offset the costs of some events.
Snackroom– The snackroom lost money last year and this year we hope to break even. The door code for the BGSA lounge has been changed as a theft prevention measure, and we will be doing monthly checks to ensure that the money coming in for the snackroom is aligning with the money going out to purchase items from Costco.
Halloween Party– We will be selling glowsticks. In future years we may be able to book the Faculty Club for our Halloween Party. This year we’ve already committed to having it at Dewey’s.
Questions about the Budget
One question was received from Zeke W.
Why is a cost not listed for the rental of the poster boards for the job fair?
Answer-
The Department has traditionally covered the cost of the Job Fair since it is a service that the BGSA does for the Department and its undergraduate students.
Vote- Attendees voted on the budget and it was passed unanimously.
Adjournment– The meeting was adjourned at ~12:25 pm.
