    • We should not agree to events until we *book* the room.

    • Though our main goal was just to see how many companies we could get!

      • Finding Dory + John Denero (because he’s like a teddy bear)

    • Ashley Chien

      • First year, intended CS + Stats

    • Ryan Lee

      • 3rd year CS/CogSci

      • Helped at a few events last year, startup fair, tech talk, etc

      • I’ve been to events but I haven’t really done anything; I want to get more involved!

      • Nick Weaver + some movie..

    • Victor Ye

      • Between 2nd and 3rd, CS intended!

      • I haven’t been keeping track of events but I did help out with some foods! Like Microsoft for food, and directed people to the Goldman Sachs event.

      • CSUA is the only club of its kind! There’s not really any other club like this. We’re casual; fits with our schedule. I like the resources this club provides for all of Berkeley and I want to help out with a club that has helped me so much.

      • Hilfinger -> Don’t Breathe

  • PB Only

    • Yes to all four prosps!

    • Jason is still on our mailing list. Shadowing for PB + indrel.

      • Sid found out about things lying to us; talking to HKN about things that he shouldn’t have been talking about.

      • Sid’s no longer comfortable with Jason shadowing.

        • Then again, there’s nothing too dangerous about other clubs knowing what’s happening with us.

      • But if Sid feels uncomfortable about this, then this is a pretty big issue.

      • We should talk to Sid about this.

    • Barak - we don’t want to overwork you!

      • If you don’t have enough money, it’s okay, ask Megan or Yitz.

      • If you’re overworked then let Neil help out too!

    • Officers Perks

      • Everytime Neil explains officership to a new member, the “perks” feel like nothing..

      • Megan has two ideas:

        • As an officer, you get to setup/teardown, which means you get to talk with companies and recruiters!

        • If you have nothing else on your resume, having involvement in a reputable club is useful!

      • Allen, Julie, Neil do good jobs of giving spiels :D

Megan: Email/reach out to the companies.

Yitz: Make a slideshow / budget sheet

Caleb: Get key for HP this friday. And the LaTeX one.
