(Germany excused, Gardner late)
• President Josh Payne called the meeting to order at 6:37pm.
• Payne welcomed the 1L and Freshmen EC candidates who were observing the meeting. Each candidate introduced him/herself and recounted one “fun fact,” some of which were better than others.
• Payne then introduced President Ruscio, who presented his new plan entitled “Rededication to Teaching and Learning,” which some members of the EC have subtitled “I Love Spring Term.”
• Payne announced that Fall Committee Appointments would be Monday, October 1st.
• Payne reminded the EC of the breakfast with President Ruscio this Thursday at 8:00am.
