Minutes 10-10-12

Meeting start: 12:00pm
Present: Kelsey, Libby, Alisen
Absent: Yakou

  • We started the meeting by talking about due dates for the project and figured out the expectations of the powerpoint etc... 
  • We talked about ideas we had about that stops we would like to see on the route, how often the bus would run etc... 
  • To clearly and thoroughly explain the problem: University students without transportation can't benefit from the short distance from here to the cities 
  • Establish parameters or specific aspects that we are focusing on: This problem is already focused 
  • Where issue falls into bigger scheme of things: The admissions office uses the proximity to the cities as a selling point of the school, but many students can't get there. 
  • Provide any background information: Freshmen are told by many that they don't need a car on campus. 
  • Details on who is affected by the Problem: Students who don't have cars
Finished: 12:33pm
