Find an adjective that starts with the first letter of your name and possibly describes one of your dominant characteristics.

When it is your turn, introduce yourself by stating your first name and program(s) of study, then tell us that adjective.

For the rest of the meeting, if someone wants to address you, they should call you by the tuple (adjective, first name), e.g. Dangerous Dave.

Introductory Icebreaker

We announced that UAIG meetings will be held biweekly on Wednesday at 4:30pm.

It has come to our attention that many regular members might not be available at that time.

Hence we are changing the meeting time for the rest of the semester to Friday at 4:30pm. Does anyone here feel really strongly against this decision?
