- Introducing the new first years, with as-yet undefined positions: Philipp Michel and Nathan Ratliff; and a new second-year, Mihail Pivtoraiko.

- The web site needs to be updated with the FAQ, alcohol registration form and faculty info, and the tax exempt form.

- PSRs: Sanjeev will look into getting volunteers, Kristen and Mihail will also work on them this semester.
