7. Associations for Nontrads
Barbara Denaro couldn’t make the meeting, but called and reported that Kennebec Valley Community College now has more traditional students than non-traditional.
Jeff reported that Presque Isle is the only UMaine satellite with an association, though Farmington has a commuter council. He’s going to follow up and get some information about the Presque Isle association.
New Business
We should start thinking about the logistics and costs of holding a welcome back barbeque next September.

It was suggested that we contact the graduate student association to see if they’d like to collaborate on the Family Movie & Pizza Night, because many of our attendees are graduate students.

Kat announced that there would be no meeting the following week, and of course no meetings during spring break.

Meeting adjourned at 11:50AM. Minutes submitted by Kat O’Connell
