Have been meeting with Scott Blythe, who has in turn been meeting with Marv Steir, and foremost expert on this topic. We have some great plans in place for the near future.

Still reviewing contracts, will be having more meetings in the next couple of months. Missed a meeting the other week because I was ill, but these talks are still ongoing. Next meeting will be in November Committee has met a couple of times. Once again because I was ill I wasn’t able to make all the meetings. Thanks to the rest of the committee to pick up the slack and ensure that it was finished. Great work.

Attended Ed Co meeting on October 11. Currently there is a bylaw election going on to elect a student member to the board. Remember to vote on my.bcit.ca. Education Council meets to discuss various educational issues. The policy committee of Ed Co is trying to make policy 5002 (Student Regulations policy) more user friendly. They are inviting anyone to have a meeting with the committee to offer input. If you are interested let me know and I will send you the contact information.

Drafted and sent a four page letter to the clubs trying to address some of their concerns about the changes with clubs. Jason has been doing a great job working with them and addressing their concerns.

I have been hearing from students about the need for a U-Pass. I will be gathering information to make sure it is current to give to students on the reasons why BCIT does not have a U-Pass.

The government is doing a review on the post secondary system. They are trying to envision what the system will look like in 2020. The tour was at BCIT last Monday. There were lots of different ideas from various stakeholder groups of what the education system should look like and what needed to be fixed. I will be going to another two symposium at the end of the month

New running track

Asked for more coal deposit to put down and fill the holes of the track but it is very difficult to find and expensive.

Maintenance will be done on the track, but there is not much coal deposit left to grind down.

1st and 2nd year minglers

Clubs are aware that there is a plan to have these minglers.

Looks at dates and arranging those now with Jason.

Minglers for Minors

Explore the demand and possibility for a mingler/ networking event that caters to minors, Talked to Scott Blythe other Student Associations have come along this problem. BCIT is different from other schools as there is an older demographic here.

It is possible to arrange a mingler with minors where alcohol is available.

Still have to work out the logistics of it probably best to have a wine event.

Additional funds from renting the field out

Local soccer clubs have approached me about the possibility of renting the field out to local weekend leagues starting soon, After discussing with Jim, it will cause too high of a cost in maintaining the field to be any benefit from us.

We do currently rent the field to student teams and Whitecaps. On a one-off basis they will consider it but a regular weekend league will not work out.

Teacher issues & Evaluations

Some Instructor issues have arose, working with Jason to resolve

11

Evaluations – Met with Carroll Nelson, program head for marketing communications, to shed light on the evaluations. The path that they go through is to the dean – associate dean – instructor.

Its up to the associate dean to cite any action. Issues have arose in the past where there has been results but the length of time the instructor has been at BCIT does pay a role in the severity of the action.

Teachers do receive a rating from the opscan along with all the reports that were written. They do not receive this until all the grades are finalised and given out.

Met with Carroll Nelson to discuss possibilities. Most instructors are unaware of the copyright infringement and most will be on board to supply exam like questions and format for duplication.

Suggested meeting with Dick Dolan to discuss further

Sukh Discussed with Todd his plans for a Wine Seminar. Students will have to pay for this seminar and will learn all about the different wines and how to taste etc. Unfortunately this will not be available for minors as you will have to taste the wine in the seminar.

BCIT FILM CLUB PROPOSAL Sasha Wade FilmFLEX Student skwade@mac.com October 5, 2006

Dear BCIT Student Association, We all like watching movies, and whether or not we know it, we all like making movies too. That’s what the BCIT Film Club will be all about: watching student movies and developing those skills involved in or related to making them.

Creating film does not simply entail pointing and shooting a camera. A wide array of other elements are involved in the moviemaking process that require a diverse group of skills from original ideas, to internet streaming, digital animation, marketing, business, accounting, management, statistics, critiquing and much more!

The BCIT Film Club will be a welcoming opportunity for all BCIT students to attend free workshops, a resource centre for both film and nonfilm students to accomplish projects or to simply ask questions, and above all, a fun way to meet new people, show off work, and learn new skills. The club will be the much needed link between students who spend most of their time in the Broadcast Centre, and all other students across campus.

Mandate: To provide a platform for all BCIT students to screen their projects, to interact with other students who are interested in any element of filmmaking, and to provide training, networking andcopportunities for experience in any area of film production.

Startup Requirements: • BCIT Film Club Website with moviestreaming capability • BCIT Film Club Online Blog/Discussion Forum • Weekly oncampus meeting space with adequate A/V equipment • Marketing: Posters, Posting on BCITSA website and televisions • Honorarium funding if available for workshops and guest speakers • An initial promotional Film Club event Benefits to Students: • Opportunity to network with other students and industry professionals • Opportunity to break the on campus (soon to be offcampus) industry barrier • Resource for both broadcast and nonbroadcast students to exchange one another’s thoughts, ideas, help on film or filmrelated projects (e.g., a broadcast student who wants help making a budget, marketing, designing a website etc. or a marketing student looking for the resources to help them shoot a commercial or use Photoshop) • Provide students with a means to screen their film projects or share other related work and see what other students on campus are working on • Free workshops for areas/genres club members are interested in (e.g., pitching ideas, starting a small business, lectures on our favorite films, software workshops) • Access to man power and shared costs if students want to get involved with entering film festivals, student film competitions, or work on personal or school projects together • Possibly provide students with a means to see publicly available new or special interest films at a discounted rate • Networking and fun through Film Club social events

16

Membership: The great thing about film is that it appeals to more than one particular group. Films are made to appeal to people on a wide scale, to entertain, to provoke thought, to demonstrate new ways of looking at things, or to simply express oneself. Furthermore, film production and analysis requires a skill set that reaches far beyond actually shooting a film; It requires production management, skill searching, marketing, critical analysis, story writing, creative thought, software knowhow, website design, budgeting, research, human resource management, and being up to speed on the latest media technology. You do not need film equipment to get involved with film.

This is why BCIT Film Club membership will be attractive to the student body. Of course film and broadcast students will be interested in joining and becoming active members, but many other students will too. Whether you are a digital media design student wanting to explore related opportunities in filmmaking, a marketing student who wants to gain hands on experience helping a student shoot a commercial or promote a project, or any student who wants to learn more about business, budgeting, web design, media software, posting movies to the web, etc., the resources and connections necessary to achieve these things will be available through the BCIT Film Club.

Any BCIT student who is interested in seeing other student’s work, showing off their own work on student screening nights, gaining new valuable skills from industry or industry related guest speakers, networking, learning about new technologies and how their particular program applies to the film industry and discussing movies and television will feel right at home at the BCIT Film Club.

Membership will be free, so students will have nothing to lose by joining and choose to become involved as much or as little as they choose. With the right marketing, student initiative, and organization, this club is sure to be a big hit.

Vision for the 2006/2007 Year: BCIT Film Club Website: • Run short streaming personal productions or promotional material for its’ members projects.

• Blogs/discussion forums – let others know what you are up to, post questions, recruit help from others • Student member podcasting • Web calendar listing events, workshops, guest speakers, student debut screenings • Promote the Film Club • Student feedback on Film Club Weekly Meetings: • Welcome new members • Announce Film Club Calendar’s upcoming events • Schedule Events, workshops, presentations (e.g., industry professionals, academics with a particular focus) that may be of interest to students • Organize screenings for up and coming local film makers as well so that the club may be exposed to the craft and the community • Opportunity for members to discuss project ideas or projects in progress and to encourage one another Events: • Workshops, presentations scheduled outside of regular weekly meeting times • Field trips to screenings (possibly at a discounted rate for club members) • Student debut screenings • Social events Projects: BCIT provides students with free access to thousands of dollars worth of software and media equipment that go relatively unused while students should be taking advantage of this!

17

Depending on what kind of projects members want to work on, students can team up and connect through the BCIT Film Club and use one another’s skills and resources to create a masterpiece that can be screened at a BCIT Film Club screening. Students can connect with members by attending club meetings, club events, socials, and most easily, through the BCIT Film Club Blog/Discussion Forum.

Community: By getting involved with our community and establishing community partners, the BCIT Film Club will establish itself, give back, develop and expand. Possibilities include but are not limited to: • • •

Teaming up with an organization in our community to host a filmrelated event Partnering with a community organization to form a mutually beneficial arrangement Volunteering our members skills and/or services for a charitable cause

There has been a very positive, articulated response to my idea for a BCIT Film Club from both film and nonfilm students on campus. I believe I have the qualifications, leadership capabilities, and motivation to make this club a huge success. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely, Sasha Wade

CSCE – BCIT Student Chapter Description A student chapter of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE).

Founded in 1887, the CSCE is a learned society intended to develop and maintain high standards of civil engineering practice in Canada and to enhance the public image of the civil engineering profession.

The CSCE promotes the development, acquisition and exchange of professional knowledge in the field of Civil Engineering and promotes Civil Engineering among the general public and governmental institutions in Canada and abroad.

The student chapter will further the CSCE’s objectives through liaison and collaboration with the main CSCE organization and other Civil engineering organizations operating in the lower mainland. The student chapter will be officially affiliated with the CSCE. Benefits Members of the student chapter will be introduced to the profession of the civil engineering through technical presentations by invited practitioners, attendance at other organizations’ presentations, and social events involving students and professionals.

Interactions with students from other institutions will arise from the club’s sponsorship of teams of members who enter civil engineering student competitions.

Members’ social and recreational activities will be facilitated by the organizational abilities of the chapter/club.

Startup Requirements At this point, the student chapter requires only affiliations with the CSCE to be completed (the CSCE is expecting our paperwork, and their approval would be almost immediate). We would like registration as a club within the SA, and possibly open a bank account. We request $500.00 from the SA to fund thank you packages for our guest speakers and social events such as minglers.

Enrolment/Interest Currently, 153 members are already signed up. A continued effort on our membership drive could increase the enrolment to approximately 175 student members, which is virtually the entire Civil Engineering student population.

Vision BCIT’s student chapter of the CSCE is an active student society representing Civil engineering students. The society’s objectives are to promote activities related to all of the aspects of civil engineering, to broaden the students appreciation of the profession and to encourage investigation into all branches and departments of civil and environmental engineering.
