R Seminar Updates (c/o JBreps & SeBreps) - 5 min

  • Speakers were finalized on Monday
    • Francis Edrinal
    • Topics are a bit more advanced compared to last sem’s seminar  since it’ll also serve as a review for Econ 132
  • Sensing updates
    • A poll was held in the Econ 132 gc and 23/32 students said they were willing to go to the seminar
  • Incentives
    • Plus 5 pts in the Econ 132 exam
    • Will try to message 131 prof for possible incentives but it might be a bit too late
  • Schedule
    • April 10, 5-6:30 pm since 132 exam is earlier than expected
  • Council attendance not required 

Andi: Is the incentive for the recorded meeting also?

Shin: The meeting will be recorded, but the incentive is only for people who go to the seminar.



BRA Outreach Updates (c/o WaM & JBreps) - 5 min
  • Last month, we had a meeting with BRA
  • Partnership proposals were sent out on March 22-28 so orgs could deliberate during the break
  • April 4 was the original deadline of the proposal, but it was extended to April 9
  • Sure sponsor: Tiger Biscuit
  • Struggling a bit with org partners due to the current situation (ECQ, mental health matters), ~2-3 confirmed org partners so far
  • Next week we’ll have more definite updates since the deadline will have passed 
  • Call for donations will be posted on April 10 
  • Please text brig your batches
  • Eskwelabs wants to partner by sending medicine, last sem they wanted to partner as well
    • Must provide attendees for their  webinar about mental health, can’t fully commit yet
    • Also asking for specific beneficiaries, but it depends on the amount we receive and since we’re giving it to patients we’re still looking for a foundation/organization centered on patients needing financial assistance
[Motion]
Andi: Motion to extend 5 mins.

Shin: Seconded.



Edres Updates (c/o Edres Rep) - 5 min
  • Release for Econcepts split into two
  • Release tonight and tomorrow

    • Incentives for 106
  • Not sure how to proceed with the second EDG 
    • Looking for diff ways to proceed with the event 
  • Tutorials
    • Third for Math 21 tutorials
    • Already setting dates for tutorials in different gc’s
    • Better performance compared to last sem since there are tutors now, compared to the one tutorial that was held last sem
    • 3 schedules at the moment, 2 for 106 and 1 for Math 21
    • Question for BRA: Will students be able to attend synchronous tutorial sessions?
      • Will message gc later
Mario: Maybe there could be an option if the tutor isn’t available, a tutor could help via Google docs for problem sets?

Emman: Yes, that is very much on the table.



​
SEEB Updates (c/o SEEB Chairs) - 5 min
  • Tentative timeline for elections May 3-June 18
    • We’re gonna announce the call for members for the EB of SEEB earlier, starting April 19 to address the changes in the electoral code before May
    • We will be holding convocs, but waiting for USEB (?), because the electoral code still depends on them
    • Election period is longer 
  • Electoral Code
    • We went over the whole thing and took note of the articles, titles and sections that need changing due to the environment 
    • We haven’t discussed in-depth because we need the SEEB members first to have a final vote for the amendments
  • There was a suggestion to lower the number of votes required for a valid election
  • Heads up to BRA, we’re gonna reach out to you because we need representatives from ASEO and different batches, and for the Electoral Board
JC: For the choosing of two reps per batch, will it be via application or do the batch reps get to assign? 


Andi: For Concom or SEEB? For concom, you can appoint. 


Shin: For SEEB, it’s an appointment.


Mario: It’s sign-up.
