Science Olympiad
This Saturday (03/18) is Science Olympiad, from 12:15-1:05 in Room 1910 Sangren Hall. We will need help administrating the event and grading tests.
Hackathon
Next weekend (03/26) is Hackathon. It will be in the Bernhard Center West Ballroom 8am-8pm (or thereabouts).
We would like to do class visits next week to promote Hackathon. Let alu know if you are available to do so and flyers will be provided.
The budget for Hackathon will be submitted tonight so we can get money from WSA.
Giving Day
Giving Day is on 04/12. People will be able to donate through RSOs.
Money Talk
We have two portions of money that the Dean’s Office owes us. Giving Day money from last year, and a reimbursement for Science Olympiad. The Dean’s Office was confused about Science Olympiad reimbursement receipts and would like to provide us purchasing power directly instead. The Giving Day money is sitting in a bank account run by the Dean’s Office, so we’ll need to contact them if we want to spend it.
We also owe $300 to the university library because they accepted a package for us. To settle this debt, our options are to transfer money through the WMU account or to write a paper check. kahrl gave a wonderful talk about how banks work, but the important part is that paying our debts through the university makes things much easier for us.
$500 would remain as Dean’s Office money after our debt is cleared. The WSA is expected to provide us money for renting the Bernhard Center for Hackathon, but if not, we’ll pay through the Dean’s Office.
