WELCOME to this collaborative meeting! This meeting is a truly remarkable event, not only because we have managed to all get together in one room, but also because we are here to pause and collaborate on an effective vision for the GSM that unites and relates our sometimes unrelated groups:
Full Time Students – lots of time at school and active in the community. These individuals need help finding jobs, but are the key organizers of club and student run events.
Working Professional Students – less tied to the short-term extra-curricular campus community, but strongly tied to the school and the alumni. These individuals are not immediately in need of a job, but interested in the alumni association and a strong and growing part of the GSM and interested to have opportunities to participate in Club or GSM events.
Alumni – the fruits of the administration’s labor – these individuals are the current and future business leaders of the world, or at least of HP and Intel! Typically, they enjoyed the GSM and think positively of it, willing to help out students but constrained by time, distance, and social capital. Stories indicate that they like interacting with prepared students.
Administration – the only top 50 business school staff with fewer than 2000 total square feet of office space. (Note, this statistic is made up, but infers that space and other resource constraints face by our school’s administration.) This group masterminds the schedule, operations, and events for academics, recruitment and admissions, and more.
Other Groups – the faculty, the University, etc
GOALS
To foster understanding and
To identify specific steps to integrate our diverse GSM groups and ADD VALUE to the relationships between groups.
Introductions
ASM Board Member Positional Discussion Points
ASM VP and Internal Affairs - Danielle
*The Coffee Talk Report revealed a desire for career development workshops, among other ideas. Working on compiling data. Career Services intends to do a focus group on their services.
Director of Alumni Relations - Josa
*Alumni Board involvement: Hear alumni perspective on issues related to current students, drive student involvement with alumni, and bridge the gap between alumni and students.
*Develop student-alumni socials to focus on friendship and mentor building.
* Staying involved: Students, even in their first quarter, are only 18 months away from becoming alumni. Through various activities, continue to involve current students in such a way that they become “trained” to be alumni….
Class gift. Should it be participation, or total amount?
Directors of Community Relations – Andrea and Kevin
*Promote community service outside of C4C.
Dre came from non-profit, and wants us to all get in the habit of giving back. Kevin wants to get WP’s and alumni more involved in C4C and wine tasting benefit.
*Provide students with access to support in causes in which they believe.
ASM President – Alex
*Given our diminutive school size and limited human capital, scheduling conflicts are costly and could be avoided. We can make it easy to collaborate and schedule impeccably. A master schedule could be a clear step that will facilitate attendance, collaboration and cross-pollination among groups.
* Collaborative Projects – creating across-group teams. Working on easy and successful projects together helps groups mesh.
Nancy- Hardest challenge for WP’s is timing. With class and work and families, it’s very difficult to schedule. They want to connect, but how to do it is tough. Bay Area students really want to connect. WP’s could be charged individually.
Heather – Set up a culture where people plan an activity or event, take ownership.
Shannon- Alumni board – How can alumni help more on things outside of strictly finding jobs? They can provide time, expertise, help. Targeted reasons to ask alumni.
Aaron - Mentorship program – Should be resurrected.
Alumni association.
Mental Moment
There is energy flowing between people and objects all the time. When you feel good, you likely have high “energy” (think of an aura).
That said, when we interact with other people, we can give them energy, or we can suck it out of them. Ever notice how interacting with some people leaves you feeling drained, but with other people you come away feeling great? Yeah. So we should all strive to boost others’ energy levels (while simultaneously maintaining or increasing our own).
By Paige Marino, ASM Director of Orientation, loosely adapted from The Celestine Prophecy
Ongoing ASM GOALS
Coordinate high quality operations
Leadership – bring well crafted ideas into sustainable actions
Proactively support students and student groups to succeed and thrive, aka the inverted umbrella phenomenon
Prepare for smooth transitions (only two quarters away).
