We are in the process of redrafting our constitution. When the draft is finished we will make it available on the website for voting.
We are now a part of the InterScience Coalition. With this group we will be collaborating and planning events. The possibility of creating a Relay for Life team with the coalition was brought up. The club is not interested in combining. A science picnic is being planned. No ideas for activities at this time. We will also include our participation in the InterScience Coalition in our redesigned constitution.
We are in the process of renovating our website. People would like to see more pictures of events and possibly a photo gallery. They would also like to see descriptions of presenters and upcoming events.
John will be the next research series presenter and Nelson can also present. We will have pizza and advertise more. We would also like to make the presentations are more regular intervals.
We will be making and selling T-shirts as a club. We will try to sell them to the other science majors through the coalition. We will only be making t-shirts, not hoodies. There may be two designs, one specifically for Tribeta and another for general science. We will be voting on the designs either online or at the next meeting.
