SGA's weekly meeting included discussion of new programs coming to the College of Business as well as some upcoming outreach events.
During executive announcements, EVP of Initiatives Trey Fields said there were concerns over a recent survey regarding the possibility of an upcoming “plus/minus” grading system.
“A lot of students are thinking that this plus/minus grading system survey that’s going out is from SGA," Fields said. "It is not from SGA, we’re solely asking questions about it, curious what students think about it, so that’s a university assessment, not an SGA assessment. Someone said it’s us overreaching. It’s not us.”
Fields said SGA would be appearing at outreach programs on Tuesday, Nov. 1.
“Tomorrow night from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., we’ll be doing an outreach and O-day event at three of the ‘neighborhoods’ on campus," Fields said. "Terrell, the Village and the Quad."
College of
Business Senator Frank McEwen gave a report on the College of Business’s recent
outreach efforts as well as some possible changes coming to the college.
“Last week, like we said, we
went out to the College of Business and talked to our constituents, taking the
iPads, getting some feedback on the athletics,” McEwen said. “We’re
currently working on something that my ticket ran on, which is a freshman
leadership type of program within the business school to help students get more
from the business school earlier."
McEwan said the temporary name for the school is "Lowder-ship."
"That’s in the works right now and we’re really excited to see that hopefully get working in the Spring," McEwan said.
