May 27,2008 - Officer Meeting
Location: Partnership II, first floor meeting room
Present: Joe Keebler, Carrie Murphy, Katie Del Giudice, Heather Lum, and Dave Schuster
- The application for chapter recognition is due August 15!
- The Space Coast Chapter is meeting in June - Joe and Carrie will try to attend this meeting and meet with Michelle Reuter about future collaborations
- Touring the NASA facilities is not looking good anytime soon - Michelle is quite busy with other things and this might not happen over the summer
- Dr. Barnett needs help with editing chapters for an upcoming book. In return, he will come speak to the chapter in the fall or spring
- Joe will meet with the leaders of Psi Chi and the Psychological Society about ways to collaborate and get more undergraduates involved
- We need to come up with ideas to encourage people to become dues-paying members of the group.
Comps
- We need to sponsor study sessions, perhaps twice a month with one in June, two in July, and two in August
- Invite Dr. Jentsch to at least one of the study sessions to talk about the research methods section of comps
- We could make an online repository for comps information - perhaps a Wiki where people could add information as they come across it. In the past, this purpose was served by binders passed down to each year's group and by a Yahoo groups bulletin board
