 * 1.	All-Hill Council report

A ton of money to go around ex: All Hill will be catering the PA kickball tourney, gave money for quiz bowl Money can be used to offset costs of doing fundraisers We should have a campus wide event! Badminton tourney fundraiser? Ultimate frisbee tourney? Representatives from March Wellness will be assessing who is using gym -March Wellness is under-performing as a community gym, not very many people from the community are going Library will be open 24 hrs starting this summer, 4th floor will be open

Running out of money $150 travel grant for people traveling abroad will be asking for more $ from Dean's Office OHSU standing as a research school will be enhanced by having more money for students to engage/present research Scholarship for high school kids (10-15 applicants)
 * 2.	Senators report

A lot of people are concerned about tutoring services (specifically, have to fail an exam to get tutoring) Jaime emailed Dr. Osborne and will be meeting with her on how to improve tutoring service - he will suggest that 4th years be allowed to take an elective for tutoring (before 1st years fail an exam) Looking to draft an honor code - at other schools, honor code has been found to strengthen connection between students and faculty - disadvantage might be whether to report a cheater - Jaime will email the class to ask about whether people want an honor code Growing concern of reduction of mental health services for MS3s and MS4s - good therapists have left OHSU - growing need for mental health services
 * 3.	Student Resource Council report

People liked 2nd term better than 1st term, liked epidemiology (had most positive and negative comments) Ross and Bailey will present recommendations on how to improve PCM today SOM doesn't have clickers, but the class can encourage their purchase with positive feedback about them Main suggestions: - make sure ppts exist for all exam skills - more consistency in group leaders (a lot of dissatisfaction comes from different small group leaders and the quality of their knowledge/experience) - have a method of reviewing previous PCM materials (ex: review of heart and lung sounds)
 * 4.	PCM Rep report
