Template:AAG San Francisco State University Chapter of Students Without Borders, maintains this as it's web presence in order to promote collaboration. It is much easier for our individual members to contribute on a wiki, and we benefit from the wider networking that occurs through the community on Appropedia. We are also involved in early stages of the Appropedia Action Groups initiative which aims to enhance and support this community.

Name Change

San Francisco State University has refused to sign the chapter agreement that EWB-USA requires for a club to be recognized. EWB-USA has not approved any trips to Nicaragua. So until we get the red tape cleared up, our club will be changing it's name. Next fall, we plan to resume being a legit EWB chapter.

Open Positions

Next semester we will be expanding the number of officer positions, see below for details

Conference call

As people will be dispersing this summer, we will be holding conference calls to plan the details of the Nicaragua trip. There are still seats available, so if you are interested in coming with us, call in on Tuesday the 29th at 6:30pm. (phone number to be posted on the website before the meeting)

Bridge Tour

The bay bridge tour was great, for those of you who missed it, here is a Picasa Web album: http://picasaweb.google.com/morpheus2485/BridgeTour?authkey=Y3DzuoMqyvg

Senior Project

Starting next fall, several of us will begin working on designs for a medical waste incinerator to be installed by the San Francisco Professional Chapter Of Engineers Without Boarder's Haiti Team.

We have a LOT of questions about this, so if you know anything about incinerators or hospitals, PLEASE contact me

Open Officer Positions

We are hoping to expand the officer ranks so we will be adding job positions here. Currently, officers have been elected by consensus among the existing officers. However, if consensus fails we will vote.

  • Secretary/secretaries - this person would take notes at meetings and club functions and post them here.
  • Special Event Coordinator(s) - Is in charge of facilitating monthly members meetings which will include speakers and movies.
  • "Affluenza" has been a recommended movie
  • "The New Heroes" has also been brought to our attention
  • Recruiter(s) - In charge of tabling and creating events which increase interest in EWB SFSU.
  • Local Project Coordinator(s) - this person will arrange local projects.
  • Fundraiser(s) - In charge of facilitating fund raising events
  • Conference facilitator(s) - EWB SFSU should be hosting the first ever Appropedia conference in October(confirmation at the end of the month) and this will require a whole lot of leg work around campus in September - the more people we can get involved in this, the better.
  • Faculty Advisor(s) - we are looking for faculty advisers who will take an active roll in EWB SFSU and ensure it's longevity after we leave.
  • Mentor(s) - People with international experience who want to attend our meetings and events to give us advice.

If you are interested in filling one of these positions, the talk page is waiting for you.

One time Projects

This is a list of projects that need to get done but don't necessarily need a position made for them.

  • Create Tee-shirts this can include the EWB logo or anything else that strikes your fancy
  • You can help us be very visible in the quad early next semester and make a concerted effort to advertise to non-engineers
  • We have also considered hosting a banquet to recognize one or two outstanding Professors at our university. This is a politically tricky process as feelings can be hurt and it is difficult to recognize teachers for excellence as opposed to just popularity.
