Today, we had an informal meeting where everyone can bring in materials to share with the group. The following list captures what happened at the meeting, but is definitely not a complete list! - We had a consecutive streak of one new person at each meeting! - Seth suggested that his group can provide the people resources for our group's ideas (related to philanthropy, etc.)

- We the upcoming StudentSpeak event in April. Amanda and Josephine are looking for potential speakers. To "recruit" speakers, we will e-mail the listserv. In our new StudentSpeak event in April, we seek to balance the panel with a mix of people who favor "medical remediation" of disability and those who do not favor such un-natural interventions.

- At the middle of the meeting, everyone introduced themselves with their name, relationship to CUDA, major, and one weird aspect of him/hserlf (as Ahmed suggested).

- Sharon announced the confirmation of the following speaking event: Hal Smith will be giving a talk titled "Mentally Disabled Offenders: Myths and Misconceptions" on March 16 from 5:00-6:30 pm in Kauffman Auditorium, Goldwin Smith Hall.

- Next week, we will have a more formal meeting with a definitive topic.
