- Darleen suggested we think about a scavenger hunt with prizes at the end, making posters to advertise, booking rooms sooner rather than later, allotting part of the budget to food and prizes (pens, extra gym bags)
- need an estimate of the number of newly admitted students into Kin for fall (will talk to Sophie about this)
- to contact the students email or phone calls will be best
- Lucy will talk to Irving about when the peak times for field use are in the last week of August/first week of September
- Alex will talk to Peer Health about creating a quick presentation for the tour
- AJ had mentioned there are leftover Geek Week t-shirts and they could maybe be converted to BPK t-shirts and given to the students
