Career Development Workshop

• Discussion: Should it be a large or smaller event? Consensus - smaller,
  students could get more out of it. Potentially under 50 students. Smaller
  group context would encourage interaction.
• Agenda of workshop: Up for discussion.
• Date/Time: Location would be an issue if it had to be held in a larger
  lecture hall based on attendance. Possibility to run one each term.
• Ticket Sales: Do we want to put a cap on the number of tickets? Request
  for volunteers at lunch in between classes to sell tickets outside the GRC.
  
• Ticket sales volunteers signed up (attached at bottom of minutes)

Allocation of Roles, and Discussions of Future Meetings

• Discussion of what the roles would include.
• Meetings will start out weekly and switch to potentially every second
  week.

Mentorship

• Getting started – Can be done mostly home. Book passed around to explain
  job descriptions.
• Speakers
• Possible speakers?
  
  • Ontario Police College
  • University of Guelph
  
  

Fundraising

• Discussion of new ideas for fundraising.
  
  
  • Buttons
  • Bake sale – two were done last term, both relatively successful.
    
  • Coffee Mugs, (will be price dependent whether travel or regular.)
    T-shirts
  • Suggested idea: Used book sale
  • Suggested Idea: Campus photographs printed up as postcards or actual
    cards could be sold for revenue
  
  

Web site

• Update events and executive
• Facebook page: All the student groups have a Facebook page – but email
  and networking might be more effective.

  determined later.
