ORDERS OF BUSINESS
ben: agendas?
fran: no one has been spending any money, but if anyone has any refunds they can inform me. need to do my own refunds

allen: for today, we can put our pronouns in the our name on zoom
ben: we don’t have any jurisdiction over other colleges, but we can recommend to the colleges
