Introduction of Audrey and Dave. Audrey is the 1st yr student rep. Dave is the 2nd yr rep.

As Student Rep, Dave is working on a 1yr/2yr relationship project.

Audrey is working on connecting the GIM programs to local alumni for their trips and research.

Reviewed Don Norman's lecture in Sunnyvale Calif on 1/29.

Planning on writing a newsletter highlighting a MMM alumnus. Dave is the primary contact for that project. No alumnus has yet been selected.

Mentoring Program Mentoring program is in progress. Called "KAMP", it is undergoing an overhaul and will enable more data to align mentors with mentees with regards to Interests and Geographies. "MMM" is planned to be enabled as a characteristic so that MMM students will be able to get an MMM alumnus mentor. A MMM student is presently on the IT committee for that program. About 300 students participated last year. There is a 1 yr time committment. We need to consider what the MMM-specific promotion would be to the alumni.

Audrey will reach out to Michele K to provide insight where the next Summer Connect locations should be located based on the admitted students and MMM interns.

Summer Connect

Ben N and Michele will reach out to Joe U for training on the wiki. (completed a few weeks later) Michele needs information on incoming students. There are students who are involved in admissions and could be good contacts to work with.
