This week Senate was throwing around ideas to interest the student body about this semester's Senate Forum. The setting of the forum will be a PowerPoint presentation, sharing information about what has been accomplished in the recent past and what is in the planning to be accomplished in the near future.
The forum will take place in the faculty lounge on Feb. 24 in hopes to still leave time to improve on student and staff's concerns before the end of the semester. Senate's links to the administration will also take place in this discussion and offer any additional answers that may be necessary. By no means will this forum expect to act as the be all and end all of issues that may reside on the campus, but it is definitely a step in the right direction.
As many may already be aware of, Student Government has recently redesigned its web site. Each representation within the Executive Board has the option to create a web site which offers information to ongoing projects and student resources. For example, the class of 2009's page displays the "Freshwear" line of clothing, which has been created. Some pages are not only flooded with designs and color, but also with music and creativity. All are encouraged to check out these pages.
In an effort to reach out to other local Student Government organizations, three members of the Executive Board are attending the upcoming Quinnipiac University Student Government Round Table Discussion. This is something that SG as a whole has been trying to do in previous semesters, and is taking advantage of this great opportunity. Much can be learned from sharing new ideas which have worked and possibly old ones which haven't.
It is that time of the year again when the Information Technology Department puts out its yearly Channel Survey. This year the survey is going to be developed within the Senate IT Committee and approved by the Senate. This will prep the proposal for student approval. Keep alert for information about the survey because it is the only opportunity students have to give input to which channels will be purchased for next year's on-campus housing. Let your opinion be heard.
The Buildings and Grounds Committee is looking for members of the SHU Community to participate in this year's Beautification Day, which is scheduled to happen on April 8. If this is something that interests you, please contact senator Christina Piazza at piazzac@sacredheart.edu. You do not have to be a member of Student Government to participate.
Bring a Friend to Senate Day is Feb. 21. If you are interested in being a special guest to the meeting, please contact any senator for more information.
