SGA’s weekly meeting included discussion of upcoming changes to campus dining and possible rule changes for senate campaings.
EVP of Initiatives Trey Fields encouraged SGA members to pitch their ideas for changes to on-campus dining either.
“This is really kind of a transformative time for dining on campus the next two or three years,” Fields said. “Beyond just a dining task force, or any other things we’re kind of doing with dining on a daily basis, if you guys have any ideas that you think would make dining on campus you can come talk to myself or David Facteau in cabinet.”
Budget and Finance Committee Chair Chris Smillie gave this week’s College of Business report.
“We’ve been working this whole semester on keeping some rooms in Lowder open during finals week so that students can study and not have to fight the traffic in the library,” Smillie said. “We actually have a meeting this week with Mr. Long, who is the Harbert College of Business chief operations officer, and we’re going to continue that conversation with him.”
Student Affairs Committee Chair Sarah Grace Mitchell said the College of Engineering will host a “Mental Health Day” in the Shelby Center.
“Tomorrow from 9 a.m. to noon, the college is having a mental health day, so we’re doing yoga in Shelby center and in the McCarthy suite,” Mitchell said. “If you don’t know what that is, it’s a really nice suite at the top of Shelby Center.”
The event is open to all students, Mitchell said.
“There’s going to be yoga up there, there’s going to be cupcake decorating and you don’t have to be in the College of Engineering to come,” Mitchell said.
College of Education Senator Rebekah Kennedy presented a future order of business making changes to the process of running for student senate or cabinet, including a required GPA of 2.5 for campaign managers.
“The campaign manager also has to turn in the admission of intent,” Kennedy said.
