The first meeting of the new Old Dominion University Philosophy Club was held on January 11th at 12:15pm on the 9th floor of the BAL building.
Facilitated by club president Halie Hovenga, many initial administrative tasks were first discussed in reference to getting the new club officially up and running.

Upon the completion of these discussed administrative tasks, three major activities were proposed and discussed as possible happenings for the club. First, a general concensus emerged that some version of a philosophy open mic discussion should be reinstated as a monthly or bi monthly club happening. Faculty Advisory Dr. Hatab specifically seemed to see this as a rewarding and fun activity that garnered much popularity in a philosophy slam installment with the old ODU philosophy club of yesteryear.

The second proposed activity discussion, specifically the acquisition of either ODU faculty or outside entities to lecture on specific philosophy subjects/themes/topics, was led by club vice president Max Schrumpf
. Members seemed to profess an interest in said activity. The specifics of what philosophic subjects to have lectured would be proposed by and voted on by the members of the club.

Finally, getting the word out of the clubs inception and in reference to recruiting new members was stressed as most important. A blog (that which you see here)
