As one chapter of the SGA Senate council comes to a close, another is just around the corner.
The seniors of the SGA Senate Council said farewell to their respective positions and colleges one last time as incoming cabinet members assumed their responsibilities.
"It's been an active year," said Brad Rayborn, adviser to the SGA Senate Council. "Whether it's the bills and the resolutions coming through or just the conversations that the senators have had on campus with their constituents, its been a year of growth and learning for each of our senators and we're looking forward to that continued growth."
Jacie Coressel, a senator for the College of Liberal Arts, encouraged the incoming senators to find something they're curious about and pursue it.
"This has been one of the greatest things I've done at Auburn, it's really been a stretching experience," Coressel said. "These people have really taught me a lot about myself and Auburn, and I wish them all the best of luck."
Logan Powell, president-elect and now a former Chair for the Facilities and Campus Committee called the experience "Incredible."
"I think what's so unique about Senate is there's such a diverse pool of voices and that makes you realize this campus is filled with a lot of different people," Powell said. "There's such an opportunity for change in this room."
In addition to the open floor, several requests to the SGA reserve fund were granted tonight.
A reserve fund request by the Graduate College for $4,600 from the SGA reserve fund was passed to pay for timers for "Research Week", "Three Minute Thesis" and graduate research symposiums in the future.
The ten electronic timers were purchased at $460 each and have a remote control to stop and start either by presenters of judges.
"A lesser number would be sufficient for the three minute thesis competitions, but for research week a uniform number of ten timers would allow ten separate events to go on at the same time," said David Adams, a senator for the Graduate College.
A request for $15,403.15 for graduate assistants working at the Center for Leadership and Ethics was also passed, though the funding will not contribute to the overall salary fund for GAs employed elsewhere.
A resolution was passed to commend the Raymond J. Harbert College of Business for creating a Syllabus bank for students taking classes within the college of business. \0x200B
