What would happen to the remaining 40k?
Eric Saldanha

Maybe we can explore GradGov swag in the metaverse for our online students

yes Eric
Cristian Jimenez

Given our difficulty in spending the total amount, would it be possible to recommend the reduction of the student activity fee for future years?
Shalini Jain

Yes, good suggestion Nadia -- increase the amount for Research Grants
Dave Z

what are the rules on the grants when it comes to money?

$51k
Lindsey Johnston

I was thinking streamlining everything a la Asana, etc., and subscriptions come with training
Eric Saldanha
53:09
Just wanted to say that I'm loving the engagement from all the new directors! So great to see y'all already leaning into your roles
Alexandra Morin
53:36
I don't think we have a specific "swag" committee, but I have a professional background in retail merchandising and bulk ordering if anyone would like some insight. I recommend using BCS or BSN for custom apparel orders and Wincraft for custom novelty items such as lapel pins, stickers etc.
Lindsey Johnston
54:15
My undergrad is in apparel merchandising in textiles 🙂 maybe we make a committee!
Dave Z
54:19
Alexandra those are great companies as well
Alexandra Morin
54:43
Love that idea Lindsey!
