SGA President Gabe Amo '10 overviews SGA's semester
Issue date: 12/9/09 Section: Commentary
Hello Wheaton!
As the fall semester comes to a close, I would like to give you a quick year-end update of SGA activities and a preview of what lies ahead.
Over the semester, your SGA has worked very hard to get you involved in enhancing the student experience and moving Wheaton forward. Nov. 30 brought the end of the Greener Wheaton Competition.
I want to applaud the entire campus community for your participation and will announce a residential unit winner early in the next semester, who will receive a free tab at the Loft. The SGA Web site (sga.wheatoncollege.edu) has become a revitalized tool for student engagement. Please visit it regularly for updates and follow us on Twitter at WheatonSGA.
Programming Council has put together a diverse set of events that have given all members of the campus more options to enjoy their weekends.
The Intercultural Board and the Educational Council have been steadfast in their efforts to unify the clubs in their tiers and advocating for their needs.
The Annual Priorities Committees of the Senate are busy at work on reviewing the alcohol policy, expanding transportation options at the holidays and around campus, thinking broadly about the costs of books, securing student discounts, and working on technology issues on campus.
And of course, with great diligence, the class councils have successfully organized and put on class dinners, the Providence Bash, and are gearing up for a very busy spring semester.
In the next semester, SGA looks to hit the ground running on several other projects.
We will present student perspectives to the President's Budget Advisory Committee and continue to provide input on the college's long-term vision on the Planning and Priorities Committee.
The Green Initiatives Committee will engage the community with a Sustainability Fair and the first crop of Eco-Reps will be carrying out sustainability projects.
Students are actively working on reforming high level policies including: clarifying and making the college bias incidence response more effective, including students in the community standards sanctioning process, addressing issues of campus accessibility, comprehensively gathering student voices on the housing experience, and generating a set of expectations regarding living off-campus. The Board of Trustees and Board of Alumnae/i will be on campus for their regular meetings and will interact with students about the student experience and hear about how it can be improved upon.
