Faculty council @3:30pm at A832 (talked about budget situation; Provost Masi gave
presentation on academic goals and long-term McGill success)
attended Scarlet Key Speaker series on entrepreneurship and leadership
attended “Exploring Leadership” workshop
Sparkgig organization contacted me again to ask about collaboration and getting McGill
music students to their performing platform ->I had to reject his proposal so that we are
not overstepping McGill Booking Office’s role
VP Internal
o Practice room reservations went smoothly, schedules went up the morning of
Wednesday February 5th. Super taped them with masking tape on all 4 sides, so
hopefully no one can tear them off.
o During an office hour, someone came in to complain that her posters were being
torn down. They were not stamped by us, but they were McGill sanctioned events
with the McGill logo on them, and she said that Rebecca Woodmass told her they
would be fine. Thoughts?
o Opportunity. My friend sent me the following email: Hi there
