- Choral Conducting Workshop: Scheduled for January 16th. We propose 15 minutes for each conductor. Samantha will continue to figure out the details.

- The rooms are booked and approved by the upstairs executive (Yay!). EdUS has expressed interest in combining parties with us (their executive-only Christmas party and Festivus). Council approves of the idea. Sarah will look into, and contact Sean and Dan about the idea.
- Still in process: Getting information about merchandise, and this semester’s budget from EdUS.
- Sarah joined the Field Experience Working Group

- Percussion Ensemble Conductor: Heard back from Alain and Shawn, and both are open to the idea. Sarah will meet schedule a meeting with Lisa, Alain, and Shawn to look into options for this.
- Still waiting on final numbers for what can be offered to each student. Diana will get back to Liz about this.
- We have received a proposal to help host a “Get to Know Each Other” event for Music Education students. Council agrees that MEdUSA is not in a position to help with funds for this, but could contribute through advertisement of the event through the E-News, as well as support in booking rooms.
