Discussion about council members who want to stay on. Most of council will go on ballot in June.
Council member on grad council?
Elected officials coming to every meeting? Do we need a treasurer?
CONCLUSIONS Zephy and James will stay on as network. Zephy and Derek will keep up with Grad and student council.
Q: Small stipend to entice new people on council? NO. It’s been looked into. Council members get different things out of position. Some money does make you feel more justified for putting the work in.
ACTION: everyone review the bylaws to amend next meeting.

This will help us decide our involvement in future years. Then also vote on this and vote on bylaws next month: change SRF to Research week. Change dates: from 2 days to more days-don’t make it a set date so that we allow for scheduling conflicts. Library needs to be booked a YEAR IN ADVANCE.

OHSU Research Week

 Discover your colleagues at OHSU Research Week (May 7 – 10)
140 oral and 179 posters, 3 keynotes, food and drink, conversation, awards, and a raffle for an iPad

The momentum is building for the first annual OHSU Research Week, taking place May 7 – 10 in the OHSU Auditorium.
The event will showcase the diversity and excellence of research being performed across all schools, centers, institutes and education programs at OHSU. Students, faculty, post-docs, residents, research ranked staff and more will be presenting their work.
“Research Week is a celebration of our research mission,” said Jackie Wirz, PhD, Assistant Professor, OHSU Library, and chair of the Research Week steering committee. “It gives everybody a chance to check out some of amazing work that they might not otherwise see, which will hopefully lead to new avenues for collaboration across OHSU.”
The program includes 140 oral presentations and 179 posters (four poster sessions) – with sessions ranging from Public Health and Healthcare Perceptions to Neuroscience, Drugs of Abuse to Rare and Genetic Diseases. Speakers from across campus and at all phases of their professional and student trajectories – from department chairs to first-year students – are participating.
The four poster sessions include food and drink. Awards – presented by Mark Richardson, Dan Dorsa and others – will be made to students, junior faculty and others during the May 10 closing awards reception starting at 6 p.m.
The event will also include a “passport” option: the more stamps on the OHSU Research Week passport, the greater the chance of winning the drawing for an iPad. Stamps will be awarded at presentations and at the poster sessions. The iPad will be given away at the closing awards reception. Ask for your passport at any of the poster or oral presentations.
Information about the speakers and programs is at www.ohsu.edu/researchweek. The schedules are searchable by name, topic and date/time.

DISCUSSION Do not need to file 1098-T. The difference between boxes could be seen by IRS as taxable income, but this isn’t right because we never see it.
Tax talk is online.

5 MINUTES STUDENT COUNCIL UPDATE DEREK MUSASHE
DISCUSSION New provost wants to consolidate student fees into tuition so that it is more transparent for current and prospective students.
Currently, the tuition quoted (applies mostly to med students) does not include many hidden fees that actually make tuition the 2nd most expensive in the country.
If the tuition is more transparent, the school feels more pressure to get it down so that it is not so expensive and can be more competitive recruiting students.

10 MINUTES POSSIBLE GRAD STUDENT STIPEND RAISE JAMES MCKANNA
DISCUSSION Last year, the council recommended a $500 (total for year) raise to the dean but he rejected it.
This year there is more teeth to this recommendation and we are a little more optimistic that the dean will accept the raise. Feel free to come to the meeting to show your support for stipend increases! Tuesday 3-4pm 4th floor Mac Hall.
5 MINUTES JOINT CAMPUS EVENT CRISTINA BUTTERFIELD AND KELLY CHACON
DISCUSSION We still want joint event. It would be nice to make it annual. Discussion was how to go about getting momentum for helping out with organizing: make an exciting case for it, include budget, get about 4 volunteers. We’ll vote to approve it. Make sure to document how to do it for future event planners.
