    • Paul requested documentation on the role of the GAC member: Action: Nick to copy this to the GAC policy guide
  • Briefly discuss Open House - Confirmed March 11
    • Will be much like last year, one day, everything in bldg 33
    • Beth will post agenda from last year, survey on the wiki.
    • Beth noted that some things last year had to happen parallel – Beth will try and minimize these overlaps this year. But possibly no complaints anyhow. The overlaps probably can't ever be eliminated completely without going to a 2 day event.
    • Try to avoid putting lab tours at the same time as when faculty are available. Beth will reach out to faculty when they are available.
    • Paul suggests notifying faculty of Open House timing now: get them to block off the time now.
    • Paul suggests getting Sarah Vega to do campus tour. But GA^3 does it usually. Sarah is a good suggestion if GA^3 can't.
    • Dave noted last year we had some no shows at the poster session, that caused some grief.
    • Lunch in 116 doesn't work in terms of traffic patterns. Food placement?
    • Dave says feedback of open house has been good, just tweaks are needed.
