Call to order 3:48p.m.

President’s Report (Chriss Sneed)

ISSS/International Student Leadership Updates – Dr. Holsinger emailed Chrissabout an update meeting. Chriss was disappointed in the email because it seems to indicate the issue has not been resolved in a way we are comfortable with. Combined with an email received by KMM, leads us to believe the university ispursuing the leadership-as-employment issue. If this is the case, Chriss will be resigning and sending notification of hours worked to-date to the university for money.

At the upcoming GSS meeting Chriss will give a bulleted, chronological list of events regarding the ISSS issue.

Thank yous for Thanksgiving and Moving Office furniture –The executive board would like to thank Saman and Ben for helping with moving office furniture and the Thanksgiving event. We would like to thank Alexis for helping with Thanksgiving but also meeting catering each week for our working group happy hours.
