• Recap
  • Minecraft Night
    • Not very popular
    • A few people showed up
    • Some proposed ideas: open it up to general video game nights
  • Tech Seminar
    • It didn’t really get off the ground this time around, as CSC 171 class had their final projects early
    • Timing was ultimately the issue; advertisements went out early, though next time we may want to mention it to the professors at the beginning of the semester so that we could maximize the prospects of getting advertising for all the tech seminars incorporated into lectures
  • CIFx Talks
    • Presentations were a little disorganized
    • We had 3 people
    • One of the people who was planned to show up and wanted to talk did not
    • In the future, more planning will help

• Housing Packet
  • There is a transfer student who is potentially interested in living on CIF according to Reslife
  • Considering doing presentations at orientation-type events to recruit more
  • UHC member is interested in possibly living on CIF in a double, as they have heard horror stories about the housing lottery

• Participation Points
  • We have hit an average of 15 and a median of 14

• Don’t Freeze Together: went decent except for the fact that CIF people did not really show up, in the future we should announce earlier on the Discord
• Lab Event: Nothing got done unfortunately, but Fenway is making progress on the terminal
