3) 5:53 Funding (Polina)
Listen to this segment
i. Stanford Rollerhockey Club – Requesting money for:
End of season party – watch Stanley Cup finals together and get pizza.
Recruitment event – want to expand the team by having banners and fliers up, and have a recruitment dinner. Asked for money for player awards, but this does not fit into the GSC caps for student groups. $550 recommended. Passes by consensus. Priyanka, chair of Undergrad Senate, offers her help in fliering and spreading the word among students.
4) 5:57 Programming Update (Justin)
Listen to this segment
Events with GSPB on their way, working on that stuff. Location for the grad formal has been officially rented, so yay!
Peter, who is a Rains CA, is here to talk about their budget for the Halloween party. Had the funds for the entire event available, just asked for the GSC to contribute, given that it is an event available for all graduate students, not just Rains residents. Much of the event is paid for from Rains house dues, but they want to keep some of that money for their own future activities for their residents, who have actually given them their budget. We have a discussion about other potential sources of funding for the Rains parties in the future, and a reminder that our funding process typically takes two weeks. Peter will create a list of Rains events that the GSC might consider being a part of financially and will be in touch with Kristina and Euan about a possible line-item for the future, which could be a general ‘GSC working with Rains’ line-item, rather than specifics for particular parties.
5) 6:04 ASSU Update (Hershey) – Hershey is not present, so no update.
6) 6:04 New Business
No new business, adjourned 6:04.
