1. Applications for recognition

The Committee reviewed revised editions of the UMBC Running Club's and 24 Form Yang Stylte Taichi Club's constitutions and recommended these two organizations for recognition to the Acting Director of Student Life.

The committee also reviewed the constitution of the Flaming Chalices. This organization was also recommended for recognition to the Acting Director of Student Life.

2. Business

In an effort to get student groups who have submitted materials for recognition through the process faster, the Committee determined that it would be helpful to have someone review the constitutions on a preliminary basis, provide feedback to the student group on the constitution, and ask for a revised copy to bring to the Committee meetings.
