The Student Government Association met on Monday to discuss upcoming public appearances as well as formulate potential policy initiatives between individual colleges.
During executive reports, EVP of Outreach Bri Thomas said the new administration’s first concourse hours will be next week on Wednesday, March 15.
Thomas said senators have the option to sign up for concourse hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“The purpose of this is to publicize our cabinet applications that are due March 17, which is the Friday of Spring Break, and to just answer any general questions,” Thomas said.
In lieu of formal college reports, SGA Vice President Justin Smith allotted senators a few minutes to congregate with other senators in their college to come up with potential initiatives for the coming year.
At-Large Senator Hannah Clarke said at-large plans to make students more aware of electronic options for Tiger Card usage, as well as make those options available at all restaurants across campus.
College of Agriculture Senator Emily Stone said her college hopes to bring new dining options to agriculture buildings on campus.
“What [the Agriculture council] talked about the most from this semester is getting an on-campus food option on Ag hill,” Stone said. “If you’ve ever had a class in Funchess or any one of those Ag buildings, they’re very far removed from campus, so if you have all your classes in there and you’re hanging out there all day you have to take a hike if you want to get food on campus. We thought about having a food truck on campus.”
College of Liberal Arts Senator Ken Ward said he and other CLA senators will be continuing a project started last summer by former Liberal Arts senators Jacqueline Keck (now SGA President) and Cody Bass.
The goal of the project is to find housing for liberal arts interns in far-away cities with fellow Auburn alumni in hopes of potentially saving them money on living costs.
