STEM Club Meeting Minutes

Minutes
October 18, 2002

1. Reports:
1. Saguaro Ranch school is in the predicament of most of the schools. The ideas sounds great to them but the still don't know what they are going to do with us. This mentoring/tutoring program is still in progress; so far we have that tutoring will occur twice a week. Issues still exist such as background checks having to occur in order to begin the tutoring/mentoring program for the schools. This idea of tutoring/mentoring is now aimed for the spring semester in order to iron out all the details. Anyone that is going to be a part of the program should have their schedule free after 3pm next spring.
2. The flyer that pat made for the club was amazing. It hasn't been printed but was available for preview via the computer. Pat is also (with the help of others) going to work on announcing the visit of Professor Glenn Hurlbert, an ASU math advisor, on oct. 25 and the visit from Marilyn Enlo, (another advisor) on Nov. 8 th .
3. The web site is now up! Patrick made an amazing web site. The web site does not have all the material on yet, but when it does it will include the meeting minutes, announcements, a calendar of events and tons of things concerning the club. (gecko.gc.maricop.edu/clubs/stem)
