Where to hold it since 390 no longer exists:
Many venues were discussed, but there were three that stood out. Learning Collaboration (060-SEL), SPAH (which is closed to the students for the summer), and the Health Sciences Computer Room. People are going to check on availability and how they are set up so that we can decide which one to select.
