Mr. Thiel is requesting financial help in supporting the ceramic art students in this event. The cost for the conference for the 15 students is $1875. The fundraiser SoTA Art Club has been doing is to help pay for the Art students of Chabot to attend the California Conference of the Advancement of Ceramics in downtown Davis, CA. The money raised is to help pay for conference fees and hotel rooms for students to attend the 3-day conference. The cost of the conference is $125 per student and the rooms are $119 + tax per night. There are 10 rooms reserved and 8 rooms will be occupied with 2 to 3 students of Chabot. 2 of the rooms are for 3 nights Thursday – Sunday, because the set up crew and curator go up the day before opening day to set up the gallery with the artwork of the students. The rest of the rooms are for 2 nights Friday and Saturday night. The money raised goes towards equipment for setting up the gallery in Davis, food for the reception held at the gallery on Friday night. Chabot College is one out of 40 colleges, UC’s and High schools' art departments that participate in this conference and there are many who would like to participate in this event that has been happening for the past 22 years. This will be the 23rd Annual for this event and Chabot has participated in it for the past 4 years. In the past years the club has spent $1,200 - $2,000 in operation cost. This does not include the cost the students have put out of their own pocket for conference and lodging. The Club is hoping to rectify this with the funds it has raised this year. The operation cost is lower this year due to the fundraising efforts the past 4 years has provided all the equipment needed to put up the gallery for this event. RECOMMENDED ACTION: The SoTA Art Club is requesting $1012.32- $2,230.64 to attend this event.

The Striving Black Brothers Coalition is a support system designed to help African American males understand their purpose in the collegiate arena and in life, by developing an authentic sense of self, committing to a purpose and building meaningful relationships with peers, family, and Chabot College faculty and staff. These college tours are designed to enhance the students understanding of four year college and university systems. The three day Southern California college tour (See attachment for itineraries) will include campus visits to a private college, a UC and a California State University. Our hope is that these interventions will assist more Chabot College students in accomplishing their goals of successfully graduating from Chabot College and transferring to four year colleges and universities. These campuses tours and are designed to help reinforce the students understanding of the transfer process and motivate them to continue making strides in their community college career. Anything you can do to assistant us, will be greatly appreciated. We will again acknowledge your generosity in our end of the year program, which will be distributed to all guests, and in our newsletter that goes out to numerous community professionals.

There are many events that ICC as a unit can support, so in order to hit the ground running it might be best to return to the traditional meeting times. However keeping in consideration that many events will be held this semester, we should consider being flexible with switching the days between Tuesday and Thursday. RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the the ICC approve the official meeting times to be the first and third Tuesday or Thursday of every month.

BACKGROUND: Clubs are such a vital part of our campus and pull together the active students that create a culture of community on our campus. Being that clubs naturally draw out students willing to get involved in their school, many come to ICC for help in advocating for events, programs exc. So it' only natural to come to ICC for man power, in order to support an Events Table. An Events Table would be a table, in front of the Cafeteria, ( and possibly other places), that would be a hub for important student resources, club meetings, and events. RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the ICC partner and staff an Events Table.

The the best thing ICC can do now is pick a date, and establish a committee that can work out the logistics in time for that date. RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the ICC staff an "ad hoc" committee for Club Rush day, and pick a date and time.
