MSU Meeting Agenda: February 6th, 2017
I.
II.
Presentation of minutes from January 11th, 2017
A. Corrections? None
Report from the MSU Officers
A. President—Nadeem El-Kouri
1. OrgSync – VOTED AGAINST USING IT
Currently used nationwide and at Loyola undergrad – only as successful if
everyone uses it. It also has push capability through mobile devices etc,
Feel free to suggest other solutions!
2. Funding for service organizations
Service groups don’t receive MSU funding because MSU funds are
strictly allocated for student events – considering the idea of allowing
service groups to receive $100 for any intro meetings/food etc costs they
need covered (continue to maintain policy of service groups not allocating
any MSU funds towards a donation/service)
Concern and decision will be addressed at next meeting
3. Student group hand off should happen by April 1st
Highly suggest each organization to create a gmail account and use that as
the main hub for all organization documents, list serv, google drive etc to
make hand off easier
4. All student groups must register (See Student Leadership Handbook)
We would like ALL groups to register – even ones not technically
receiving MSU funding so that the MSU webpage can reflect most up to
date
5. Fundraising notification for all groups
We would like all groups to submit all fundraising ideas through MSU
first to make sure there is no overlap between any groups
