Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who came to our Education Collaborative meeting yesterday. It was very productive and we have lots to report on, such as newly elected officers, funding and future meetings, projects, Brown Bags and Happy Hours.
To start with, congrats to our newly elected officers!
President: Coli Clements
Secretary: Pablo Alfaro
Treasurer: Catalina Diez
Outreach Co-Chairs: Cory Fox and Jordan Brensinger
Academic Chair: Dara MacDonald
Funding:
Since the UNSPWG continues to be our parent-organization, they agreed to allocate some of their funds to us for the semester. We asked for $300, but the final amount has yet to be determined.
Future meetings:
From now on we will be holding meetings every other week. Our four options for meeting times are as follows: Monday @ 8pm; Tuesday @ 1pm; Tuesday @ 7pm; Thursday @ 1pm. I know we've asked you to use Doodle a lot, but please fill out this Doodle one more time so that we can gauge which time accommodates the most people.

Next steps:
This semester our main goals will be to expand our network and create thorough and robust lists of education-related courses,
professors, student groups and institutions across Columbia. The
Outreach and Academic Chairs will update us on this front as the
semester moves along.
We will also aim to put on two Brown Bags and host Happy Hours to
continue to get to know each other and highlight the importance of an
education community at Columbia. The Society for International Education
at Teachers College has also expressed interest in co-sponsoring an
event with us later in the semester.
For our Brown Bags, we would like to gather
some input from all of you. What topics are you interested in? Who do
you know (professors, educational practitioners, etc. in the community)
who would be interested in speaking with us? We will send out a document
on this shortly, but in the meantime, please respond to this email and let us know of your ideas!
Stay tuned for more soon!
Have a great weekend,
Coli
