PB Only

  • Getting members more involved in projects

    • Working with companies(startups) on projects?

      • CSUA isn’t too well suited for this

        • Join CSUA for fun times but we don’t have any vetting or anything to make people stick to the projects - Megan

      • Maybe have a trial run?

        • We sorta have with Maersk…

          • Obligation vs Interest has a huge difference

          • A lot of people haven’t worked on Maersk even though Robert has been trying to push it…

        • Root day and company projects aren’t the same but they’re pretty similar

      • CSUA is a hub for people to meet and possibly connect, not a place for projects

      • “We have a small amount of impact on students on campus” - Eric

      • Send out an interest form?

    • Educate and then allow people who are good to work on company projects?
