Mentoring idea
- Proposal was to have a rotating panel of senior grad students, but the response was underwhelming
- Alternative is for an informal CS lunch where people meet in LWSN lobby and walk to Union/Boiler Market
- Does not necessarily have to be a GSB event
Idea of moving CS department to College of Engineering
- This will be a major topic for the Town Hall
- Michael/Brandon will summarize the ideas as presented

Social Hours : Donuts like last time, go for small ones not the big ones (50$ limit)
Movie and Pizza : book a room for movie, Feb 24, 2009. Yi Xu to take care of it.
Ashish's idea : A forum where people could ask random question regarding Computer Science. It can vary from questions like how I can use Computer Science in biology or civil engineering. like TGIF in Google.
March 4 for game night. We will spend 10$ per person. Rest will be paid by people. Ask people if they want to go to Men's game or Women game. Women game is cheaper, so we will pay 100% for women game.
