Student Senate is officially back into the swing of things and is working on projects as if winter break had never existed. The Senators are working within their class boards, and within their committees to project the most effective goals for the benefit of the SHU community.
Senator Justin Gage and his fellow Academics Committee members are working on the final details of the Fall 2005 Dean's List. This semester, rather than waiting for a small postcard to be mailed home, the Academics Committee is taking action and making public the accomplishment of many SHU students.
Approximately nine hundred students in total worked hard and achieved the Dean's List recognition this semester. Since this is such an amazing accomplishment, the list is going to be posted in the glass case next to the IT Department for all to see. This list is also going to be copied and sent out in an upcoming Spectrum Newspaper. Keep posted for this insert.
The Buildings and Grounds Committee is still working on their Beautification Day project. This event, planned to take place in the month of March is well on its way. Senators Christina Piazza and Lauren Corso have been diligently working with the Buildings and Grounds staff to optimize the outcome of the event. This is something that the Senators have been looking forward to as well as the Student Senate in hopes that it will bring the community together. A final date will be announced soon.
The Flik Committee with Senators Nora Murphy and Janelle Watson is also off to another adventurous beginning. Last semester they researched prices from area supermarkets to compare to items within the SHU Market. They also visited local diners and restaurants to compare the prices of Flik Dining Services' prepared dinners. The list was submitted to the management at the end of last semester in efforts to address student concerns and is now at the top of the list of things to do for the spring.
Various upcoming events for the SHU Senate include the Leadership Conference on Feb. 4, which all students are welcome to attend, a Fireside Chat with Dr. Cenera, and a Senate Forum. The Senate Forum is going to take place at the end of February to share with students what has been going on in Senate all semester and collect any ideas and or questions that may be brought to the table.
The Fireside Chat with Dr. Cenera is scheduled for Feb. 15. This event is going to be attended by all Student Government members in an effort to get closer to the President of the University. This chat is a somewhat similar to the SOTUA event which used to take place on campus. It is just a way for students to become informed about changes at SHU and information regarding their stay at the university.
