February 7, 2002

Officers and offices:

Model: “Firebirds forever” car club!

              Officers:     

q       Faculty Advisor – Dr. Zachary Burton

q       Special Projects Coordinators:

This is a position open to anyone willing to take on the responsibilities of “coordinating” various projects the club has lined up. Right now, Erica Frando is the project coordinator for the Undergraduate Research “Practice” Forum (March 28, 2002), and Katie Zobeck is the coordinator for the Tour of the X-ray Crystallography Facility.

Projects:

I.                     Develop the BMB club website

Woo Moon and Eli LeMoine volunteered to update and rearrange the website, yet the official “title” for these two is still up-in-the-air.

 

q       Mission Statement – under construction

q       Membership – discussed whether the club should have any sort of official           

                                membership, and if so, of what type. No changes made.

                               

 

II.                   T-shirts

 The deadline for T-shirt ideas was extended until the next meeting (in two weeks).

    Janel is checking on the legalities of using “MSU” (if any)

 

III.                 Web page and links for Scholarships, Internships and Fellowship opportunities

Will discuss further at the next meeting

IV.                 Profiles of BMB undergraduates

q       Interview questions

Interview fellow BMB majors; questions to ask might include things like why they became a biochem major, what do they want to do with it, and Honors or Awards they have received, any research they are currently doing, and perhaps advice for the up-and-coming BMBers or a “memorable moment” type of thing.

 

q       Format of webpage

The format for the profiles is probably going to  be a quotes/story format with pictures of the students.

Activities:

I.                     Tour of X-ray Crystallography facilities – project coordinator is Katie

q       Date – this will probably be on a Thursday, but the actual day is still tentative.

q       Contacts

 

II.                   Other upcoming activities

q       Reminder: upcoming events and deadlines

March 1 is the deadline for The Poster Session and Research Arts Forum
