Minutes
For the majority of the evening, the SAM’s worked together to assemble nearly 200 care packages for student athletes whose parents sent money for. These care packages contained many items, all geared towards helping the student athletes succeed during finals week.
After the care packages were finished the SAM’s spoke briefly about what charity they would like to support for Shoot Out for Cancer. It is likely that the foundation benefiting from ShootOut will be the new UVa Cancer Center which is still in the stages of raising money to build within the next year or two.
- If anyone has another suggestion for a different foundation, please contact Meghan O’Leary at ml04s@virginia.edu

d. SAAW- Dean Groves thought it went well! He attended the kick off at small collections library. Fourth Year fifth issues- on the lawn fights. A lot of people that did not behave well this weekend (police reports). Thinks people are doing much better at looking out for one another.
2. Holly Deering (CASE) submitted a survey for the SAMs.

a. Went very well. Took a lot of planning but turned out to be very successful.
4. Ashley Crockett summarized SAAW generally
a. Formal evaluation will be happening soon. Susan Grossman memorial speaker was very interesting and informative.
5. Meghan O’Leary talked about Game Night. Thursday, November 29 from 6-8pm
a. Pizza will be first, tshirts later. The whole point of game night is to bring all athletes out and hang out, not get the tshirt and leave.
6. Discuss potential recipients of ShootOut fundraising (Melissa)
a. Andrew talked about Rally Foundation for Pediatric cancer. Working on being a United Way corporation. There are a lot of opportunities with this foundation.
7. Care packages: each parent is going to receive a notice with a card and send 15 dollars back for care packages as a good luck for their children during exam week. Profits are the seed money for shootout (moon-bounce, generator, buy food we have to sell)

SAM Minutes
1. Introduce Ashley- 3 minutes about her role with the SAM’s.- health educator from center for alcohol education. APPLE conferences on wellness and prevention.
2. What the SAM’s are all about- goals first than expectations after- Kyle Rudzinski
a. They are a resource to your teammates. Be someone your teammates feel comfortable approaching.
b. Substance Abuse- be responsible and help your team be the same way.
3. Ashley will talk about dispelling myths about drinking.
a. Is it safe to always give a drunken person water?
i. NO. Because it accelerates absorption, making their BAC rise, causing you to vomit. Also don’t give person food or induce vomiting. Coffee will not help you sober up.
4. General overview of what the Project SAM’s do:
a. Tell people they are to commit to one project during the year, and then we will all work on Shoot Out together.
5. Expectations for each team.
a. Community service event
b. Presentations
i. Putting together a list of great presentations; New Sustained Dialogue option; etc.
c. Game Night! See who wants to help out
ICE BREAKER- two truths and a lie
GOALS- Kyle
a. Promote health and safety for student athletes
b. Promote inter-team relations between all student athletes
c. 100% completion of community service projects
d. Represent student athletes respectfully in the larger Uva/Cville community
e. Watch our for the first year student athletes.
Events/Projects:
- Game night (Meghan and Alyssa)
- Kyle- Shootout for Cancer and substance abuse awareness week- university awareness to help deter the 4th year 5th.
Ideas- This year we’re going into the community and hang out on the corner for 2 or 3 nights leading up to the Saturday of 4th year 5th with water that have labels advising against it.
- Shootout for Cancer: in the spring, we need ideas NOW of charity we want to sponsor. Mjc5t@virginia.edu for your ideas. Held in Mad Bowl.
- Mid-Autumns Carnival on September 15.
- Care packages: right before exams. SAM’s send a letter home to your parents. If they decide to send you a care package it will arrive right before exams. This raises a little money for the committee to use throughout the year.
- HOOSPORTS: want to get all SA’s out to watch each teams event.
Other:
• More social events associated with the SAAC’s.
• Joe: Want to bring Brad Corgan to UVa this spring and have a daylong event. March 23rd. This will be to bridge the gap between the town and the University. Jdd6c@virginia.edu
• Phil: Community service opportunities. Every team has to do one during the year, as well as a presentation (ie: substance abuse, etc).
o ACE- Football team started it. Go in pairs assigned to a classroom at Buford Middle School and work with the students twice a month.
o Hospital Visitation program: Kelly Quinn and Julia Falk, Pete coordinating for FORCE. Wednesdays for the first four weeks. The rest of the semester on Fridays.
- We opened with the “Evolution of dance” video on YouTube by Judson Laippley who was the keynote speaker at the Apple Conference. He spoke on how to prepare yourself for success in an everchanging environment.
- Kyle Rudzinski, Kara Frederick, James Erickson and Meghan O’Leary talked about the make-up of the Apple conference. The conference consists of student athletes and administration from over 40 schools that assess and find aspects of improvement for their programs.
- These members concluded that most student-athletes do not know the intricacies of random drug testing, individual team policy, compliance, etc. Thus, they would like to add a section to compliance meetings that would allow the SAMs from their respective teams along with SAMs from other teams to give a presentation stating what SAM’s roles are and present the team policy for drug/substance misuses. This would highlight the process, so that people will be more aware of the consequences of failing drug tests as well as give the student-athletes more of a sense of ownership for the procedures and their actions.
- Kerry Maher talked about hospital visits. She said that they are doing visits again at 1pm on Mondays for any student-athlete, just let her know ahead of time.
- Phil Gates talked about Buford Middle School and chances for community service. Buford requested speakers to middle school-ers as well as people to tutor. It would be preferable if the tutors were in the off-season. He also talked about a community service project for a team interested, ‘Hoops for Heart’
- James Erickson talked about the new outlook of ShootOut. There are new sub-committees that include: fundraising, advertising, marketing for community, marketing for student council, and silent action. The sub-committees will host all of the SAMs in hopes that everyone will participate in Shootout.
- We broke into the sub-committees and formed our goals and objectives leading up to Shootout.
