    1. Third Funding Cycle

      1. Vietnamese Student Association “VSA Lunar New Year Show” Feb. 9th @ Glenn Miller Ballroom at 6pm - Jessica

        1. Advertising

          1. Great social media presence - did a countdown to their event with information about performers

          2. Amazing

          3. Tabling in the UMC everyday

          4. They put centerpieces on tables (table tents)

            1. Gave to UMC to market

          5. General community members were advertising as well

        2. Content

          1. There was a lot of variety in performances, so the pacing of the event was really good

          2. The video skit this year was very dramatic

            1. End of his seat dramatic

          3. Posted contend post event

          4. Amount of work put in was impressive and amazing

          5. Videos of students practicing in their performances

          6. Spoke in Vietnamese

            1. Did National Anthem

        3. Logistics

          1. Started 20 minutes late, but because there was a still a line of people waiting to get in

          2. Main performers (Hue Thy & Will Jay) performed very late in the evening; a good number of the audience had already left

          3. Huge logistics issue with food

            1. Standing in food line for 15 minutes

          4. Students could bow after they finish

            1. They deserve applause and appreciation

          5. Gave out surveys! Did a great job!

          6. THEY WERE PREPARED

          7. They bought apparel with CEB money

            1. Only fund for culturally relevant costumes

            2. $800 in apparel

            3. We did deny funding for t-shirts

          8. Let’s clarify that we cannot fund for sweatshirts or t-shirts

            1. Can ask examples of costumes they are thinking abut

          9.  

        4. Future

          1. Maybe plan to have main acts perform earlier in the evening

          2. Maybe have a English translator in the future

          3. Restructure how food was distributed. Maybe it would be more efficient if students served the food

          4. We did not approve funding for hoodies or apparel for organizations. This should have been approved by the board prior to purchases.

            1. Let’s clarify that we cannot fund for sweatshirts or t-shirts

            2. Can ask examples of costumes they are thinking about

      2. Chinese Students and Scholars Association “Chinese Lunar New Year” - February 16th @ Lower Gym at 4:30pm-10:30pm -  Christina F. and Ashley

        1. Advertising

          1. They posted posters without any of the edits that we sent

          2. There seemed to be no social media presence regarding the advertising for the event

          3. They tabled the week before the event advertising for it, and I did see posters along the UMC

          4. They approached people with leaflets and candy

          5. Posters in the Business School

            1. Really uncommon to have posters in Business School

        2. Content

          1. The variety of games and cultural activities were really fun and interesting. You had to play them with other people so, you got the chance to meet new people.

          2. They gave out booklets that explained the cultural importance of the games and activities both in Chinese and English. The stamps were a good way to get people involved in the event.

          3. They had a variety of performances that were culturally relevant

        3. Logistics

          1. Loved how there was a Chinese speaker and an English translator

          2. There were points where it was extremely dark in the room for the performances but, the games and activities were still going on so it was hard to really have both occurring at the same time

          3. Food safety was really good. People were serving the food with gloves and face masks and all of the food had heaters underneath.

            1. Portion sizes of food were super generous!

          4. It looked like 80% community members based on my observation. It was a good place to be though, if you were from China and missing home.

          5. They were mostly done with rehearsals by the time that the event started

          6. The food line was confusing cause there were on and off again times where the food line was open and closed.

          7. They did have prizes and a raffle prize they were giving out. We did advise them to not use any of the money we gave them for prizes, so I am not sure how they paid for the prizes.

          8. Everyone who came to the event definitely took the survey, but they took it before the event, not at the end, which defeats the purpose of the survey.

            1. A lot of responses on surveys! Results showed around 47% of students attended, 29% staff/faculty, and 24% community

          9. Location was nice because people would check out the event after working out

          10. There were not a lot of people manning activities, people would eat at tables

        4. Future

          1. Have translations for trash cans, recycling, and compost

          2. Must change the poster according to CEB standards and comments

          3. We will need to set a precedent about how we want to treat organizations where the communication and their ability to follow CEB guidelines is poor, but their event is both culturally relevant and has a lot of people attending.

          4. We also need to decide as a Board how we feel about funding events that are majority community members. Charging community members in the future would be a suggestion.

          5. Liaisons must be careful and instruct organizations for people to fill out surveys for after the event

          6. Loved how there was a Chinese speaker and an English translator

          7. Food was amazing

            1. Doing outside catering was a good option

          8. Might want to start charging community members

            1. We can require that

      3. CU Boulder Asian Studies Graduate Association “CUBASGA Conference” February 15th Norlin Library 5th Floor: British and Irish Room Norlin Library - 16th @ Hellems 247 & 252 - Niko and Jemil

        1. Advertising

          1. Some online presence on FB

          2. Other than that, no advertising

        2. Content

          1.  

        3. Logistics

          1.  

        4. Future

          1. Liaisons please put organizations events in calendars

          2. Support the events members!

          3. Organization is very communicative and easy to work with

          4. Advertise more via posters/social media

      4. Sigma Psi Zeta “Culture Shock” Feb. 16th @ Glenn Miller Ballroom at 7pm- Skylar and Isabelle

        1. Advertising

          1. I loved the poster although it didn’t really give an indication of what the event was about but I think that’s because they’re not quite sure what it’s truly about either I saw it in a few buildings

          2. I didn’t see them table but I’m not in the UMC much, they had fb pages for both their auditions and the event itself

          3. They tabled!

          4. A lot of advertising in Asian Student Orgs

            1. More inclusionary

        2. Content

          1. The performances were quality, Ruby Ibarra KILLED IT.

          2. Kingsley was really short and that was commented on by several people. The students that were there did a great job

          3. The video for the stepping performance was at odds with the performance itself, but maybe that was just me. I also just got the feeling that they were checking boxes for diversity, even Kingsley made a comment about how he was a diversity pick.

          4. His set was centered around Culture Shock

            1. Tied in theme of the event into his stand up

            2. Was amazing

          5. Stepping Performance

            1. Video explaining some of the purpose of dancing in slavery

            2. Did not embrace the culture they said

            3. Misleading and disrespectful

          6. Felt like the event was checking boxes

            1. Trying to cover a number of different cultures where there was no knowledge

          7. Photo Booth with tapestry of African Woman with Tree

            1. Quite inappropriate and offensive

          8. Food

            1. Checked off boxes

            2. East and South Asia

        3. Logistics

          1. It seemed to be mostly students at the event but there were not that many people in attendance. We only got three surveys. There were little to no community members. Also they were taking donations without contacting me or the board about doing so. I asked them to shut it down and they did. Further updates are pending. In addition they had a photo booth present which in and of itself was not an issue but decided to include the African woman tapestry that we specifically asked them to remove. It was asked that they take it down and they did.

            1. Did not need the entire Glenn Miller Ballroom

            2. Most attendance was fraternity and sorority members

            3. Should have advertised to other student groups

          2. Surveys were not advertised well. There were two screens on opposite sides of GMB that had the link, but no emphasis was put on looking at them and taking time out to fill out survey

          3. Was not verification over a donation box

            1. Great cause

            2. No communication

          4. 3 Responses to surveys

            1. Never brought up filling out the survey

        4. Future

          1. I think this event could be much more popular if it had a clear intention, I hope for next year they can work to improve this aspect of their proposal. I feel like they need to advertise more heavily to improve attendance especially considering the budget amount that was proposed.

          2. Please reach out to more student orgs and be inclusionary, we thought this was the purpose of the event and we found that you did not contact many organizations outside of Asian Student Organizations

          3. The step performance was out of context, misleading and disrespectful. It did not embody the culture it said it would represent

          4. In the future, CEB member will be involved in approving performances

          5. There was an offensive tapestry regarding an African woman

            1. We said the tapestries were inappropriate and yet they were still there

            2. Quite inappropriate and offensive

          6. Do not have to specifically represent cultures in regards to food

            1. Event does not have to have food

          7. Title of the event

            1. Helping them in advertising

Thank you are for your time. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! I typically have the meeting notes sent late Monday night/early early Tuesday morning. I apologize for the inconvenience as it has been a busy week. New members, this is what the meeting notes look like; this is however, admittedly, shorter than usual. Goodnight, Sunshine Faces!

 

Warmly,

 

Hayden Johnson
