As the semester draws to a close-and friends we haven't seen for days emerge bleary-eyed from the library-we ask ourselves: what was SGA up to this semester, and what can we look forward to in the spring?
The Senate, Class Councils, and Executive Board have been hard at work, and have been doing an incredible job.
To make Wheaton safer, SGA has been working with the administration to get more lighting added to critical areas of campus.
To improve sustainability, Senators gathered over 500 signatures for the petition to get more recycling added across campus. These signatures will now be formally submitted to President's Council to show the administration the overwhelming student support to make Wheaton cleaner and greener.
To find out what is really happening with alcohol on campus, Matt Bresnahan '08, Chair of the College Hearing Board, took the helm of the new Special Commission on Alcohol Perception and Policy (SCAPP).
To make Wheaton a truly multicultural community, Victor Martinez '09, Intercultural Board Chair, and the President's Action Committee on Inclusive Excellence (PACIE) launched the campus-wide survey to understand how diversity affects our everyday lives.
To make our education even better, Eli Lovely '10, Educational Council Chair, has been working tirelessly with the Educational Policy Committee to approve new course connections, and in November, the Education Council brought Damali Ayo to campus for a candid and dynamic discussion on race.
To advocate student concerns to the Board of Trustees, Corinna McFarland '08, Senior Representative to the Board of Trustees, led the way as we met with the trustees at Homecoming, discussing campus community, sustainability, and campus safety.
To reconnect us with our campus community and history, after we kicked off the year with one of the best Candlelight Ceremonies in memory, Amanda Rawson and Georgina Cannan brought us an incredible Class Weekend. On top of that, Visions committee has been hard at work in the Archives gathering histories and making plans to bring back some wonderful Wheaton traditions.
