SGA discussed some of this month’s diversity initiatives as well as expansions for campus-wide outreach at their weekly meeting on Monday.
SGA President Jacqueline Keck said current Apple CEO Tim Cook, an Auburn University graduate, will be visiting campus at Telfair Peet Hall to discuss how diversity has affected his life and work at Apple.
Cook will be visiting campus on Thursday, April 6 at 10 a.m.
Diversity and Inclusion Committee Chair Michael O’Key said this month is Pacific Island Heritage Month, and Auburn students, as well as SGA members in particular, should keep in mind the University’s large Asian-American student population.
Keck said she will be appointing SGA boards and committees this week and senators should send in any suggestions in accordance with the deadline.
EVP of Initiatives David Facteau introduced Initiatives’ two new directors of research and assessment, Ryan Dearman and Connor Jones.
“Something that our execs are trying to focus on this year is a lot of data collection and making sure that the opinions of the student voice that we’re bringing to the administration are the true voice of the student body,” Facteau said. “Having that hard data, that quantitative and qualitative data to be able to take to administration and be able to actively advocate for students.”
