DONE
Ask Kent about adding a paper towel dispenser and a couch to the Watson break room.

 

Misc.

  • Sharon is now Unclassified Professional so we will need to select a new Vice-Chair.
    • Look at past KULSS members to see if there is any interest in rejoining.
  • Julie emailed Kent about the paper towel dispenser and the couch for the staff room. He responded that he will ask FO about the paper towel dispenser. The couch request was rejected but he will try again. The concern is that the couch needs to be something that could be sanitized. KULSS had a few ideas for furniture items that could work. Julie will forward those to Kent.

Group Reports

Group 1 (vacant): nothing to report.

Group 2 (Laura): Room 210 had a potluck.

Group 3 (Molly):

  • Spencer is excited to be part of the Art Walk event showing student art in the North Gallery. Whitney and Mary Ann will take turns playing the harpsichord for visitors at the event.
