Title: Check-in

Presenters: All

Prompt: What’s one thing from your childhood that you still love today?

Title: Approval of Eco-Fund Project

Presenters: Dariga, EMC

The project focuses on environmental monitoring through a campus tree map initiative. It may require a formal submission from the college, and the project criteria or Environmental Studies (ES) code should be reviewed to align with campus standards. One objective for DASG is to connect with college operations for coordination. Additional details are needed regarding the financial aspects. The team is developing an independent website, but it could also be featured under the DASG Environmental Sustainability Committee's website to promote the Eco-fund by the Environmental Monitoring Committee (EMC).
This item was tabled for the next meeting by Dariga, with a motion by Dariga and a second by Minseo.

Title: Bike Program Updates

Presenters: Minseo

Intern Bella located the two lights, while intern Yoon assessed the need for helmets, suggesting an order of 100 helmets in total, with 25 each in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes. Additionally, updates are planned for the application form to ensure it automatically duplicates each quarter. It was also suggested to include clear terms and conditions specific to the bike program, outlining participant responsibilities, and to provide more detailed information on the program timeline for better clarity.

Title: Eco Fund Updates

Presenters: Dariga

Dariga is focusing on creating slides for the Eco Fund workshop scheduled for Week 8. The marketing request has been submitted, and Dariga has reached out to environmental clubs to help promote the event. Dariga is also recruiting prospective interns to assist with the workshop slides. During a meeting with the ES and Vida teams, they discussed the pool cover project. The school is working on acquiring the pool cover, and Dariga plans to reach out to the athletics dean for further coordination. Additionally, Dariga is planning to ask the new president about their stance on environmental initiatives and is working on launching a petition to improve the recycling system on campus.
