Summer Connect Update

Chicago

Rob organized it. Good showing – 25 to 30 people. Many incoming for class of 2011. Would like to encourage more participation from older classes. Photos are available. Going forward, we should ask for more $’s. Over-budget could be used for future events.

AR: Rob to determine group location for photos. Picasa is a candidate.

AR: Nam to post the photos

Bay Area

Scheduled for Aug 25. 8 people presently signed up. Don Norman to speak.

DC and Dallas are going to have some happy hours. No Evite was sent yet. Only sent a LinkedIn blast.

 * Worksession in afternoon


 * Students more involved (MSEC)


 * Perspective Student Day will be on the same day


 * Michele to own pre-projects for onsite


 * Location coordination

Student-Alumni interaction

Issues:


 * There is a diminished level of interaction today


 * We need to push it from the Alumni council

Solutions:


 * Can there be an overlapping member on the advisory board?


 * Can we have a quarterly meeting between student reps and alumni?


 * Onsite meetings/gatherings?


 * Mentoring program?


 * Small group dinners? Paid by program.


 * Nam: will coordinate the design of this project.   This could be a major focus of the council and should be discussed during the onsite.

Scheduling:

August 27th, 6pm PST:  Onsite Coordination meeting

Sept 17, 6pm PST: Full Council meeting, same time,  Rob Adding to Google Calendar

Outstanding issues:

1. Finalizing MMM Alumni Council (MAC) Membership and notifying them all

2. Finalizing the MAC all-hands agenda

3. Build a list of projects for Onsite preparation - Michele to own, Joe to support

4. MAC representation on the MMM Alumni Advisory Committee

5. Roles and responsibilities for the Onsite coordination
