SAM Meeting Minutes

1. Allen Groves, new Dean of Students introduced himself to the SAMs
a. He is the Interim Dean of Students (one year term). His office is in Peabody hall on the second floor.
b. Not only responsible for disciplinary action. Also does clearances for study abroad, med school, law school, etc.
c. They’re a resource and we should use them! He also attends a lot of small and large sports events.
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. Survey is for a project which is an assessment of SAM programs (UVA started the Sam program ten years ago). This survey will help her to create the national survey.
3. Michael Hagos recapped water distribution from last week for Student Alcohol Awareness Week (SAAW)
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)
