Executive Board brought a new amendment to the Student Senate on Tuesday night. Amy Nardone presented the amendment, which added responsibilities to each of the Executive Board members in regards to the new Student Government website. The proposed amendment states, "Executive Board members will be required to fulfill the following responsibilities: Work a minimum of five office hours a week in the SG Office. Provide up to date information about their boards to the Executive Board Secretary, which will be used in the Sacred Heart University Student Government website (see Article V Section 4). Executive Board members must meet with the Executive Board Secretary periodically to update their Board page."
The amendment passed for the first time with changes, and will be back in the next meeting for its second chance to be approved or not approved. In addition to the individual member's responsibility changes proposed to Article V, Section 3, an additional Section 4 was proposed to specifically define the outline of the website. Although the SG Website has not been successful in the past, the Executive Board members hope that modifying responsibilities of each Executive Board member will hold specific positions accountable for the jobs necessary for it to be successful.
The Academics Committee would like to congratulate all students who achieved the Dean's List. This is a commendable accomplishment. The requirements for making the Dean's List as provided by the Committee as follows: "The Dean's List is calculated on a semester basis. A student completing a minimum of six credits with a GPA of 3.6 or better is eligible for the Dean's List if, in addition, there is no grade below a C and there is no Incomplete (I), Withdrawal without Penalty (W), or Withdrawal with Penalty (WF). Students who complete fewer than six credits per semester are not eligible for the Dean's List.
In addition to their recent Dean's List publication, the Academics Committee is finalizing the specifications for the Freshman Honor Society. If a chapter is adapted to the SHU campus, all students who had a GPA of 3.5 during one of their freshmen semesters is eligible. This open eligibility is going to make for a large number of applicants, however it will be an incentive for future freshmen to strive to do their best right from the beginning.
Senate would like to congratulate Erin Silk for being approved as the new Class of 2007 Judicial Board representative. Jane Sanders, Senate's Advisor, would also like to thank all Senators and SG members who helped lead Roundtable Discussions at the recent Leadership Conference.
Dates to remember for Senate events include: Senate Forum Feb. 24, Beautification Day April 8, speeches for Spring Elections April 5, AIDS Relay Walk April 21-April 22 and Installation Dinner April 23. See you there!
