-training is over! Scheduling practical written tests for early december
– If you’re hosting an intern, please go through the elements of the practical exam with them so that they can properly prepare
– we’re gonna be doing attendance monthly at staff meetings now! Stay alert!
– gonna send out electronic form where you can fill out service hours, thanks jack for bringing that up
 
Jack
-Ensuring people know how to input their service hours — reiteration necessary
-Subbing for shows — send out an email once you receive coverage so that multiple people do not mistakenly show up!
-Mandatory to respond to any coverage email you send with the notice that you have managed to find coverage
 
Helly

-Will be updated every Monday

Meg
Hey staff!
 
Sorry I couldn’t make the meeting! Thanks for covering shows over Fall Break–I will be sending an email about Thanksgiving Break pretty soon. Students should know that it is assumed they will not be on campus over Thanksgiving break, and I will begin finding coverage for them through a staff-wide email. If you are a student who will be on campus over Thanksgiving, send me an email so I don’t give away your slot.
 
It’s never too early to think about spring programming, so I am busy working on a new and improved application and a way to integrate a large number of new DJs into our schedule. As always, I’m open to suggestions for better ways to run the application process and creative ideas about scheduling. What do you find annoying or tedious? Where could communication be better? There’s always room for improvement. Email me @ program@wesufm.org! I’m in the board room from 4-6 on Wednesdays.
 
Ben
