- Want approval from Senate and are requesting funds but currently do not have members from three different schools so cannot get approval at this time as they only have Medical Students.
- This group was around in the school of Medicine but they want to open it up to all campuses. Goals are to allow to students in the schools to approach healing and medicine in a different way – creativity.
- Movie nights – 18th of February – trying to show films related to health care.
- Bi-monthly knitting nights – 10 students. Also a lot of painting nights – 20 students per meeting. This is mostly a chance for students to be creative and to get to know each other and also to give back to the community.

- Standing desks: reserve funds – left over money goes there
o We are making a proposal to ASAC to get funds – we will also need help from Dave.

President’s Report: Chelsea Mitchell
Renovations for break room
- ASAC meeting – Regina, the associate vice chancellor, has a plan to revamp the student spaces. We had given them to student councils and none of the microwaves work. Goal is new paint, no new furniture, genius bar – places to plug in, charging station, whiteboards, window treatments for west-facing, and TWO working microwaves in each space
- Schools that get upgrades first are the schools that start in summer – PT, PA and nursing – would get renovated first and be ready in June.
Senate backed safety
- April = “senate backed safety month” – we will get the word out.
