Students who are nominated without a description will not be recognized. o Pharmacys Budget (Jesse Hollander): The student incidental fees task force has met to review the fees and make a recommendation to the OHSU administration about student fees. Dr. Mladenovics first step to tackling the tuition problem is combining all of the fees that students pay into tuition. There will be a student activity fee that will combine all of

the rebates, individual school activity fees, and the all Hill budget. We are requesting a cap on tuition so that the students know what they will have to pay over the 4 years they are here for school. We are requesting a tuition task force set up through the provost office that a student from the student council will sit on. There were some suggestions to turn the library in the student center into a work out center. o American Heart Association Heart & Stroke Walk (Karen Seresun): This event will be held on May 19th at the Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade in Portland.
