II.                 Facility Concerns

None

 

III.               Faculty Reception/Letter

Letter updated

Previous dates are booked so Burdett and Nicole will look into the next Wednesday which is Wednesday April 20 in Smith or Stamm

Steve would like us to include a purpose for the breakfast into the letter

The purpose being to create a dialogue between faculty and athletes and support and what it’s like to be a student athlete at LC

The more we reach out to them the more they could become involved

 

IV.              Academic Integrity Letter

Finished and ready to stuff mailboxes

Will stuff mailboxes at 11:30 tomorrow, April 6

 

 

V.                 First Year Meeting Facilitator

A meeting with first year student athletes to talk with each other and meet new people. They get into small groups led by upperclassmen and discuss first year concerns and struggles. The idea is to show that people go through the same problems.

            Suggestions: needs to be more guided to avoid too much complaining

If anyone is interested in being a facilitator please contact Jenny by the end of the week.
