Department of Minionry

General

In the past, the Dept. of Minionry (DoM) has been Ross sitting at a desk in a suit handing out surveys to freshmen and talking to them. This allows us to put names with faces. However, most people seem to believe that the DoM is no longer a good idea (it's rather boring to have people fill out surveys, and we lack someone well-qualified to be the Minister of the DoM). We need something else that will help us remember which freshmen are which.

Alternative Ideas

• taking photos/video
  • this is highly sketchy

Post-Meeting Update

No one has any new ideas on this issue. Right now, the plan is to have Greg as the Minister of the DoM, and the survey will consist only of the Turtle Question.
