- The archivist will be responsible for taking over the ASIS&T Student Chapter binder and manila folder and making some sense of it. Or at least moving it to a larger binder.

- Joelle Burdette has volunteered for the archivist position!
- Joanna is still taking member bios and photos for the ASIS&T web site

- Graduating members: Emily Belanger, Laura Erickson, Jen Lege, Brittany Lehman, Heather Soyka
- We need a better way to keep track of alumni/ae. The Wiki requires a Simmons login, so perhaps some kind of external solution or something through the Simmons AlumNet.
- Ellen wants to know if people would be interested in some ASIS&T Swag if we were to offer it as a fund raiser.
