Meeting Notes

The first open forum will be held on Friday, September 14, from noon until 2:00 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom Lounge of the Stamp Student Union. An email announcement will be sent to faculty, staff, students, and alumni; an ad will be placed in the Diamondback the day before each forum; interested groups, such as the Senate Student Affairs Committee and the Pan Hellenic Council, will be notified; and an invitation to participate will also be sent to residents of the City of College Park.

The open forums will work as follows: no advance registration to speak will be required, speakers will be asked to limit their remarks to 5 minutes, the forum will be audio taped and notes will be circulated to the committee members and posted on the web. Committee members may ask questions of each speaker.

The Student Government Association plans to distribute a survey on sportsmanship to students. The results will be shared with the Sportsmanship Committee.
