CPCC HISTORY CLUB - Minutes from November 8, 2010 meeting

The Central Piedmont Historical Association (CPCC History Club) met from 2-3PM on November 8 in OC 213 at the CPCC Central Campus. About fifteen students and faculty participated.

The organization of the club was discussed following the plan on page 7 of the Student Life handbook about starting new clubs.

Name for the Club: Several names were put forward for the club:

History Club, Central Piedmont History Club, Central Piedmont Historical Association, The History League, Central Piedmont Historians

It was suggested that the name should describe the club and should reflect the academic purpose of the club. Also, the name should give a sense of inclusion for everybody, not just historians. A decision about the name of the club was deferred to later.

Purpose: Learn, share and experience history together

Objectives:

1. Make history fun, relevant and exciting

2. Foster professional and academic opportunities in history

3. Organize field trips, movies, presentations, events, service to the community

4. Support civic engagement about historical topics

Enrollment: All CPCC students can enroll in the club. The club should follow non-discrimination policies and the CPCC Student Code of Conduct.

Dues: No dues

Faculty Advisor: Hugh Dussek

SGA Representative: Nandy Vargas agreed to take this role on an interim basis. The position of the SGA representative can rotate, and other club members are invited to participate in the SGA meetings. Other club officials will be decided later after the club has been organized.

Chartering the Club: A form needs to be submitted to the SGA with names of charter members. The form should contain the following information about the club: name, purpose, objectives, qualifications for membership, dues (if any), faculty advisor and charter members. The charter members should provide the following information: name, student ID, position in organization (if any), addresses, telephone number(s) and signature.

The history club should be fun. Some students attending the meeting already have experience with the SGA at CPCC. Plans were made to start working on the constitution and bylaws for the club and a schedule of activities for next semester.

The next meeting of the History Club is scheduled for Wednesday, December 1, from 2-3 PM in Overcash 213.
