7/20 Meeting

Cheryl is working on the organizational chart for the directory. After the chan cabinet reviews it, she and Matt will get it ready for the directory.

Lisa Erwin would like a press release to go out Monday.

State Fair is shaping up. UMD will be there Sat. 8/27. Cheryl is working on organizing the trophy and on-stage events.

She needs to write Frank McCray article for Bridge as well as interview Jesse Bodell and Mark Philips.

Matt is working on the directory photos and the various sections.

He had a sample of the Bridge cover, and we reviewed the various pages.

Christiana is working on her community gardening article. She has a tour on Monday and will get pictures. She will speak to Mindy about a student who can be Champ.

Brief went out.

She is working with Rob to set up interview with Dr. Chee. She will edit her Bridge articles next week.

Kathleen sent Currents out yesterday. She put the 2011-2012 dates on the Currents webpage and added the 2010-2011 issues on the past issue page.

She set up the team calendar in google docs. She was having some glitches. She asked that people see if they like it, otherwise she can put it up a different way.

Homepage changes were made.

She has three articles that she needs to write: Viz lab, UMD is military friendly, and Susan Mulholland's archeology project. Also needs to edit articles for Bridge.
