CCC Integration question -- should we integrate CCC into OTSC, or should we leave them as two separate orgs?
Our decision would be forwarded to CCC--it wouldn’t be a binding decision, but it would be a vision for where it goes next.
Mentorship Circles - potential absorption from Global Initiatives, maybe Kayla, Sarah + incoming  MA-1 members can collaborate with that?
-       Discussion, and potential vote 
-       Solutions:
-       Instate a Social Committee to expand the Social Chair Position, to absorb the social functions of CCC into OTSC. 
-       Accept aspects of CCC into OTSC structure. 
-       Transition mentorship circles from CCC to umbrella of Global Initiatives.

Possible to hold a meeting to gather leads from student orgs to develop systems + processes to improve communication and collaboration? Also, thoughts on promoting use of the shared calendar?
-       Get together with student organization leaders to discuss ideas of how to generate increased collaboration and communication. 
-       Expectation of incoming Vice Chair to assemble student organizations. 
-       Explore modes to share events that reach all students and avoid overlap.
