CSM

  • Room??

    • Michael Davis might be cool to reserve a room for them

    • seems like they might be able to get some rooms on the second floor

      • TAs use it for office hours

  • Why can’t they use rooms in other buildings?

    • Can’t use a big lecture hall b/c groups are too small

    • Department wants to make the CSUA lounge more of an open space

      • Keep the door open

      • Miles and other people

    • Cool with letting CSM use the room for 2-3 hours a day (10 AM - 1 PM Daily)

    • Claire/other CSUA people have felt that it is awkward to try and use the room while CSM is in there

    • Usage stats?

      • Lots of people use the room in the afternoon (2pm - midnight)

    • Having CSM in here discourages the use of the space by other students

    • Claire talked to two mentors who didn’t seem to understand that this was an open space

  • Ideally would not take the CSUA lounge

  • ** Only should be for this week, and they will talk to us in the future if they need something
