Hi everyone,First, I would like this statement "A minimum of 1 information session and 1 workshop organized by AIESEC will be held quarterly at GSA house. "Changed to "A minimum of 1 information session and 1 workshop co-organized by AIESEC and the GSA will be held every semester (including summer semester) at a wheel-chair accessible venue booked by the GSA".
Second: I would like to let everyone know that there are no charges for booking space at Concordia for the GSA. Here is the link to booking fees from hospitality: https://www.concordia.ca/content/dam/concordia/services/event-planning/docs/myevents-user-rates.pdf
As a student association, we fall under the internal category (check definitions in the first page). The internal category has no charges for space booking according to the second page.
I think we should go ahead and approve the MOU.  
Thanks

Hello Bhavreet

Thanks a lot for your input.

First of all we prefer sharing co-organized events because both GSA and AIESEC will be having lots of different types of events all through the term so it will be hard to keep track and always professionally share each others event in their respective platforms. If we generalize it and any of the two association miss out on sharing any particular event by the other association then that will be a breach of the contract. It seems to me not that necessary for GSA to showcase their events in AIESEC's platform since we have a better reach then them. 

What I feel is GSA will be more beneficial then AIESEC for the following key reasons : 

1.For this collaboration we get  to organize workshops almost for free. if we provide them just the venue within the campus then that will be the only cost for us where as AIESEC will be in charge of everything for the workshops and information sessions which will be solely dedicated towards Graduate students only (this will be added in the MOU). 
2. These will be free workshops for graduate students (as discussed with AIESEC previously and will be mentioned in the final version of the MOU)

3. Our Graduate students will now get to know about the internship opportunities on a regular basis which previously they rarely used to know about.    
4. AIESEC being under CSU is not actually concerning us, because of that actually very less amount of Graduate students knew about it and could not participate in their events, which are necessary for the Graduates too, so this collaboration will remove that barrier and will open up opportunity for more activities for our Graduate students within the campus.

So all in all I see that GSA is getting most of it from this collaboration, with rarely any expenses being incurred by us.   

If you have any more ideas or point which we can add feel free to add them. I will really appreciate that. Cheers

Regards

Hello Rafi,
I have a few doubts with this collaboration 1. Why only the "co-organised" events will be shared by AISEC and GSA? As it is mentioned in the MoU2. I feel AISEC is more at benefit than GSA with this MoU as i donot see any platform for GSA to reachout to students or any other thing of that sort.3. AISEC is a registered club under CSU, they are getting benefits from them as well

I think we should better work on the agreement again so as to bring GSA a benefit from this collaboration or MoU.
Regards

Hello All 
Hope you all had a great weekend.

As almost all of you know about the MOU between AIESEC and GSA.

I would request you all to add your valuable ideas as comments to the previous draft version of the MOU by 24th September 2016. I won't be able to delay it any further since from all your input I will have to make the final draft version to be sent to AIESEC Concordia and also to be presented to the council in the next council meeting. 
You can add your ideas as comments in this Dropbox file by the above mentioned date. 
Here is the Link to MOU AIESEC-GSA .
​Thanks in advance.​
