Minutes

Those present discussed the possibility of three events for the spring semester and all volunteered to help with the events. Ideally, we would like other people to help as well.

Suicide/Depression Prevention Workshop
Brigid Cahill is willing to do another suicide prevention workshop. The date of February 24th and the time has to be confirmed.

Immigration Attorney Event (ISO) March 21, 2006
An attorney who is presenting at UB will be in Rochester on 3/21 and can do a presentation in the late afternoon, early evening. He would be speaking about various immigration and employment issues for international students. GOG membership could submit their questions and they could be answered at the event.

Health Promotion Pleasure Party February 13, 2006
UHS Health is conducting a Pleasure Party on February 13, 2006 at the Hirst Lounge. Their main focus is on sexual health, such as preventing STDs and awareness about other related sexual health issues that college students face everyday. What they want is for as many student groups to participate in their festivities by creating a table to hold at the Pleasure Party. The table can be as creative as we like, but the topics do need to be surrounding sexual health. The student group with the most votes as to who has the most creative table will win a pizza party!

John proposed bringing in videos related to sexual health. Maia discussed having female condoms and Cynthia thought it would be a good idea to have "exploratory" games. We would like more people to be present at the table but so far these are the times people have committed to:

Cynthia: 9-10am Bill: 10-11am John: 2-5pm


Other
Maia brought up the idea of having GOG help pay for the upcoming Spike Lee event for those graduate students interested in attending. Cynthia is supposed to provide me with the contact information of those putting together the event.



Funding requests came from Cynthia Foo and all passed with a majority vote. Cynthia Foo did not vote. Maia Dauner did not have a vote for the "Revolution Now: Urbanize!" event since she is helping put it on.
