Discussed the two major objectives for the Spring Celebration
- Student Participation
- Student Attendance
The meeting's objective is recruiting students and other student organizations to partake in MCFS' Spring Celebration.
Dr. Galen Hull discussed the importance of bridging both campuses with the help of Mr. Mark Gunter who currently serves as Multicultural/International Student Affairs Director on TSU Main Campus.
Tina Reed mentioned the Student Coalition Council in January (unconfirmed date: the Friday after Spring Registration). The Student Coalition Council is an opportunity for MCFS to market the organization to fellow student organizations. Ms. Tina Reed, Jonathan Camcam, Allie Chi, Latara McCullough, and Monya Harin need to meet beforehand to prepare presentation
Latara McCullough, Monya Harin, and Mr. Mark Gunter plan to meet the Dean Miles on Thursday at 10:00 A.M. to register MCFS as a student organization. Dr. Hull will be sending an electronic copy of MCFS amendment to Mr. Mark Gunter. Allie Chi will be sending an electronic copy of the December 1st Meeting Packet and other information in regards to MCFS.
Mr. Mark Gunter mentioned Nashvile Now/Community for Justice as an community organization that shares common interest with MCFS. The partnership would be beneficial to the Spring Celebration. He will be meeting with the organization leaders.

Decisions Made:
January 22nd will be the next MCFS meeting. We will be having a Meet/Greet meeting to market MCFS to students. It is not confirmed yet, but the meeting will likely take place on the Main Campus in the Forum. It's been suggested to provided drinks or other snack-like items.
A meeting before January 22, 2008 is needed to help prepare materials and "pitch" for students to join MCFS.
- brochures about the club
- flyers about the meet/greet
- contact sheet
Election date is set for January 29, 2009. We will be deciding at that time an official executive committee.
Also, students have the opportunity to sign up for committees for the Spring Celebration.
Note: Please do not pass out the flyers from the meeting. Due to time/date changes, a new flyer is needed.
If you are interested in designing, please contact Allie Chi. Her office has graphic software that can be used in creating brochures, posters, etc.
Overall, the meeting was very productive. Again, thank you for your attendance and contribution.
