Dean’s List.
School workers.
: 11am meeting with Giummarra.
d.

told us. She said “do not tell me”:

Any more comments? Moving on.
III) Task Forces (25 min)
1.
Senior Calendar (Lily + Umberto)
COMPLETE. IT IS ONLINE.
2.
Fall Break: (Umberto, Alessandro, Lily): sending dean merva a reminder for an update
3.
Transparency/Money Management
4.
LSAT Testing (Filip)
a.
a.
a.
email to dean merva as a gentle reminder and ask for a small update.
(Lily, Filip, Francisco, Umberto, Cecilia, Micayla, Alina)
: We met with dean Harris and Merva was there to. They can help us with tutoring. All the info is easy to
find. Maybe they can put some info on the website. Maybe they could do a tutoring, although maybe too
expensive. Everything is close to our university anyways.
b.
: JCU is signed for GRA not LSAT. They will work with Career Service. Since there is also small demand
for Law School, they can organize a workshop for those interested. Harris could also become the advisor
for those who want to go to law school. She already does it informally, maybe we should make it official.
Especially if you do not know her.
5.
Portfolio workshop

6.
: cannot be taught in one workshop. It is more individual. Next semester professors will help in the class.
Advertisement ( Lily, Lucrezia, and Micayla)
a.
> Meeting with Danette
She could not make the meeting this week. We should move it to next.
b.
: we talked to dean merva informally about it and she actually supports all the advertisement. Especially
those on buses. Many students apparently apply after seeing it.
c.
: our goal is to propose to focus more on advertise within the Italian schools rather than buses.
d.
: Italians do kind of know the university. If they really want to advertise maybe they should do it more in
the states.
e.
: yes, our goal is more to stress out that we do not want too much of it because it is expensive and
because we loose credibility.

to get more.
: I have a question regarding the schedule.
: yes, they can pick any spot that is red. Estimated quota by next week, depending on the number of students.
: why do we have to pay all of it? Does not the school want us to do it? It also raises our reputation.
