      • Made a strong and clear demand to find a new lounge space prior to moving.

Officer Reports

  • Treasurer (Rehan):
    • Budget is confirmed, we are balanced for the semester. $3500/semester from EECS, $500/semester from GA, additional $100-$500 per session from Industrial events.
    • GA Liaison (Jeannette, Bobby):
      • EECS is currently in a favored supergroup that receives 100% of requested funding from GA. This cannot be counted on in the future.
