Academic

• Meeting with Lisa: Colin spoke with Lisa about jazz required courses and she is not sure about them. Lisa will contact the Jazz Area Chair to find out what is required for music ed students.
  

General

• MUSA Rep: Kyle can’t make the meetings so we need another rep. They are every other Tuesday at 20:30. Naomi or Pei will do it.
  
• Drum Circle: Lisa has approved moving drums again. MUSA booked us a room but it is not the one we requested as it was taken. The room will not work for the drum circles. Mitchel will need to look on the SSMU website, find an alternate room, and tell MUSA to book that room (and cancel the other booking).
  
• Extra Project Reports: Only Heather and Naomi have done them for September. Please do them ASAP.
  
• Volunteer Fair: Heather, Pei, and Eve-Marie will email the representatives to get feedback.
