POTLUCK/ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION #1

Hey Kids! I've gotten the go-ahead from Chris. Operation Roundtable is a go for Thursday November 18th from 6-8:30 in the senior studio. Bring your favorite food to share!

For our next meeting (this coming First Friday during lunch), please bring one question, written down on a piece of paper, that you would like to have discussed at the event. Keep the questions design-related, but anything from technical questions on your computer, to places to find inspiration, to AIGA questions work.

I need someone to volunteer to make the poster for the event, and a few people to volunteer to make sure everything gets cleaned up after. (You can email me or we can talk about it more at the meeting).

Meeting with Chris and Jamie

A Few Things Chris Wants to Talk to Us About

Last year, Halloween Party came about because each chapter got a grant for an event. 

Intention of grant is for Design oriented programs. 

Intention of Halloween Party last yearwas to be a mixer with other schools. Was unsuccessful. 

Last year, there was more communication with Chris - asking permission, month of planning. 

There is a blatant lack of planning and permission. 

Chris must deal with

     Making and maintaining a safe, modern, clean studio space

     Keeping Larry Stuckey in the know, keeping him happy

     Appropriate utilization of studio space

     Security concerns  - must pay someone for extra security

     External events - National Portfolio Day, Liberal Arts

     

Student mentality leads us to think we 'own' the building, mustn't lose sight of every other x,y, and z

AIGA Student Chapter Shrinkage

     Membership smaller than last year, Seniors to blame, aren't getting enough back from it? 

     Sophomore opportunity to mix with upperclassmen and Design Community

     Events we've held are not Design-sentric enough

     Last week of drive - keep recruiting

     Keep the combination of Social event and Design event

   

Chris rules out Halloween Party at 2:51 p.m.

  

Thoughts: 

     We were uninformed of the rules of how program is submitted to the AIGA org.

     Keep in mind the channels we must go through, move forward - don't feel punished

     Only two of our planned events were socially oriented, the rest are Design oriented

     Helpful to type of a newsletter to submit to the faculty 

     Remember to invite Jamie and Chris to meetings

     Utilize the energy and excitement to propel forward to exciting events

     Don't forget Chris and Jamie are here to help and guide

     Allow Chris 3 - 4 weeks advance notice for all 'after hours' events on campus

     Jamie needs to know ahead of time about necessary funding (budget proposal)

     Early communication is key so events go smoothly
