This Sunday, we will be holding a “S.G.A. Retreat” at 7 pm in the English House. The purpose of this meeting is to critically examine self-governance as an elected assembly. We felt that it was important to give Assembly members the opportunity to reflect and think about their roles as leaders in the community and really think about what it means to be a representative. While this meeting is geared towards elected S.G.A. members, the Exec Board would like to invite you to come, learn, and participate in this important discussion on Self-Governance.
During the first part of the meeting, we will give a little presentation on the History of Self-Governance at Bryn Mawr. Specifically, we will explain how we went from being an association, where every member of the undergraduate community voted, to a representative system. We will then break into small groups to constructively examine what role each of us (including community members) currently play and could/should play in S.G.A. You can find the group divisions and questions below. We will then re-convene as a larger group to discuss larger issues pertaining to S.G.A.
We feel it is important to make sure that students have the space to critically examine an institution that affects us all-whether through budgeting or through how we communicate to the larger BMC community. This meeting will allow everyone to come and have a discussion. This will only work if we have community members come and participate! We need community input and community voices to make sure we’re effectively addressing issues on campus. You can either come to the meeting or contact your representatives beforehand!
We hope to see you at the English House this Sunday at 7pm!
