SGA Meeting 01/27/13
Vrinda calls the meeting to order at 7:10pm
Announcements:
Ali Raeber ‘13: I am the Elections Head. Nominations are still open for this round of elections. I have had a very low number of nominations. Way lower than I have ever had before so please nominate people because what we are electing the entire exec board, my position, appointments committee, which is super important because there are a lot of appointed committees that need to happen. Also faculty rep, off campus rep, as well as one semester 2014 honor board position. If you or anyone you know is interested in running, please nominate them before Tuesday at 5pm. People who are running need to attend an info session on Monday at 7pm or 7:30pm or Tuesday at 8pm or 8:30pm. If Dorm presidents could come pick up a flyer, that would be great! Thank you.
Emma Rosenblum’14: I am one the co-heads for the Customs Committee, and I wanted to clarify a little about the emails you are receiving from us. So we have the standard application process where you can go to an info session and apply. In addition to that, we are having nominations. So if any of you or anyone you know someone who would make a really good customs person that might not typically think about applying, we encourage you to nominate them. Then Evan Rivers and I will be in contact with them to try and encourage them to apply. So basically we are trying to expand our applicant pool to make sure we get a representative pool of the community. So just wanted you all to be aware of what is going on and why you are receiving those emails from us.
Marian Slocum ‘15 and Makala Forster ‘15: this Wednesday we are planning on having the tea for sophomores and freshmen, sophomore who want hellies and freshmen who want hellers. It will be from 8-10 in the campus center. Please tell anyone you know who is looking for a hellee or heller. We will be here. There will be snacks.
Kayla Bondi ’14 and Sarah Bristow ‘14: we are also going to be sending an email out to the student body, but we just wanted to start the conversation on this so everyone knows what is happening. Due to what happened at Goodhart last year, we will be bringing outside security to bounce Goodhart performances who will have a no tolerance policy for anything over than your keys and your cell phones being brought into Goodhart. This is just a heads up. Don’t bring anything else with you. We will send an email about this, but just spread the word to your peers.
Karina Siu ‘14: this week in athletics there will be two basketball games. One on Tuesday and one on Thursday. They are both at 7pm. So please come out and support the Bryn Mawr Basketball Team. Also for SAC, we are doing some community service activities. The ongoing one will be collecting box tops. I know a lot of you have done this in elementary school or high school, middle school. Right now we are connected with an elementary school in Philly and we are going to be collecting box tops as well as you can go online with a link and buy stuff and a certain percentage of that will be donated to the school. We will be sending an email out and there will be flyers. The second one is that we will be participating in a polar plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. If you would like to help us, each person that participates in the polar plunge is responsible for raising $50. If you would like to donate, you can bring money to me and I can give it as a general pole to the people participating right now. Now we have about 6 people. What they will be doing is at the end of February, they will be jumping into freezing, cold water to raise the money. So if you want to donate or collect box tops, do it!
Vrinda Varia ‘13: Ali mentioned elections, but Candidates Forum is also this Wednesday at 8pm in Thomas 110. Make sure you guys come and start asking questions to the new exec board and interrogate them. SGA is co- is cohosting an Activism Workshop which you guys have seen posters for around campus. We are hosting an Activism 101 in conjunction with BMC Greens, BMC Dems, CEO, and the Pensby Center. Yong Jung Cho, for those of you that know her, was class of 2012 and former SGA President. She is coming back to help us run the workshop. So it will be a good opportunity to start talking about activism whether it be at Bryn Mawr or beyond. So if you guys want to come out to that, that would be wonderful. It is Monday February 4th at 6pm in Dalton 300. Plenary is scheduled for February 17th at 12:30pm. We will see you there; smack in the middle of Hell Week.
Your Two Cents:
Vrinda Varia ’13: Next Sunday is February 3rd. It is the same date as the Super Bowl. I don’t know if this is of any interest to anyone, but sometimes it is where people want to change around SGA times. So we could do a straw vote if people are interested and then we could do an Assembly vote if there is enough interest. Let’s do a straw vote for people who are in favor of changing the day.
In favor: majority
Not in favor: a few
Abstain: some
Let’s look into changing it really quickly. This will be an Assembly vote only because assembly needs to be here for attendance purposes. I will leave 7:00pm on there so if you said no, you could vote that way. Can I have some people shoot out times? Super Bowl starts at 6:30pm.
In favor of 2pm – 10 people
In favor of 4pm – 5 people
In favor of 5pm – 1 person
In favor of 7pm – 0 people
Abstain – 8 people
Wait. Natalie and I are not going to be here on Sunday at 2pm for a Seven Sisters Council meeting. Here is what we will do. Let us talk it over and we will figure it out.
A quick overview of some of the things we ended on last semester before we move on. We talked about changes with dining services and transparency within the college about budgeting issues. We have scheduled Jerry Berenson, John Griffith, David Chase, and Bernie Chung-Templeton to come to SGA on February 10th so we can interact with them. Dining services representatives are here to talk about what they are working on. So that is an issue we have covered. Questions about Perry House are being addressed by the Perry House Coalition. I think those are the two main things we talked about. Does anyone have any questions about any of the concerns that we left with in the winder semester before we start looking at things for the spring? Also the Constitution Review Committee met today. So that is also underway. We are going to move on with the Fossil Fuels Divestment Q & A. Lee McClenon and Lina Blount and are here to give you some information about some of the things you might be hearing.
Fossil Fuels Divestment Q & A
Lee McClenon ‘14: who has heard of the fossil fuels divestment campaign? Has anyone not yet? I wanted to come and tell ya’ll about who we are and what we are trying to do, a little bit about the people we are aligned with, why we are trying to do this and why we think that Bryn Mawr should care and how this fits with Bryn Mawr and what we are doing. So first of all, the Divestment Working Group is a working group of the Earth Justice League, which is a direct action, environmental group on campus. The idea behind fossil fuel divestment is that we believe that fossil fuels are dangerous to our future and that Bryn Mawr should not be financing its operations based on profits from an inherently dangerous and destructive industry. So divestment is a tool and an idea where we ask the school to stop investing in companies that are distractive. On a scale of 1-5, can I get figures on how comfortable people are about an endowment? An endowment is a chunk of money that the school has and a lot of it comes from donations and it’s invested in stalks and bonds and we have assets and other things and those things make profit and part of that is skimmed off the top and is used in Bryn Mawr’s operating budget. I think the number is half of Bryn Mawr’s operating budget comes from tuition and donations and the other half comes from profits from the endowment. So the endowment does feed our operations. What we are asking Bryn Mawr to do is from this endowment, they have a piece invested in the energy sector. We want them to stop investing in the energy sectors that we think are harming our future. So it is one piece of that big $720 million that we have in our endowment. So we have a meeting on February 8th with the Board of Trustees. Did you have a question?
Kersti Francis ‘13: yes I did. Did you say what percentage is invested in these funds?
Lee McClenon ‘14: Okay. So the other think to know about the endowment is that it this is extremely complicated. There is a piece that is invested in, that we have direct stocks and bonds in. So we are invested in like Suncor, the company that is invested in peanut oil. That is a piece of it. Another piece of it is real assets. That’s things that we do not own the company but we own something real. So one fun fact is that Bryn Mawr has a half stake in a couple of oil wells that we share with Stanford in Germany. Those were donated by an alumna from Bryn Mawr who was married to a Stanford alum. Another piece is in mutual funds. Mutual funds are like we give money to this company that then invests in a whole bunch of things for us. So it is really scattered. It is really hard to tell what those mutual funds are invested in. You can get the list, and that is a lot harder to work with. So in this big $720 million, we have direct control over $120 million. So that is in our stocks and bonds and real assets. The rest is in this co-mingled thing. So that is what we are looking at. Our direct ask to the school is that there are 200 companies that have been found to have the highest carbon holdings in oil, gas, and coal. These are 200 companies basing their stock prices based off of how much fossil fuels they can get out of the ground at any moment. Of these 200 companies, we know that Bryn Mawr is invested in 2, which is really awesome because Bryn Mawr already sort of does realize that fossil fuels are a risky investment. So our investors are looking to shy away from those. We think that they can do more. Let me tell you a little about why. Even if we just have these 2, it doesn’t sound like a whole lot, and I want to tell you why this is important. It is important because we are not the only school doing this. There are 200 schools across the country that are running divestment campaigns. We really think that Bryn Mawr has the potential to be one of the first schools to officially divest from fossil fuels. This would be a huge win for our generation is what I think, and for Bryn Mawr to have awesome press to prove that we are a socially just institution and to be at the head of this movement that is looking to change the future
Lina Blount ’13: an important thing here is that in addition to knowing about these other schools that are running these campaigns, we have a number of organizations that we see as allies who we have been working with strategically and have helped us really form some of our ideas that then we specifically work out at Bryn Mawr and have this independent campaign happening here. So something you may or may not know is that there was an article in the New York Times earlier last semester, Swarthmore College had the first divestment campaign in fossil fuels. Their campaign is about 3 years old. So we have learned a lot from their toolbox. I liked to point out that in their time working their divestment campaign, they didn’t learn as much about their endowment holdings as we did were able to learn in about a week about our endowment because Bryn Mawr is awesome and is really transparent in how we invest. So we have some really exciting allies with 350.org and also the Responsible Endowments Coalition. I do want to say that this is a Bryn Mawr campaign; this is not a branch of a national organization. These are Bryn Mawr students who think it’s important, and specifically for Bryn Mawr, in the vision of what a Bryn Mawr woman is and the vision of sort of Bryn Mawr’s investment in the future, we feel that it is a campaign that really hits home for us and in line with the colleges plan and vision in itself.
Lee McClenon ’14: is everyone feeling good about what we said so far? Are there any questions?
Kaeun Bae ‘15: I was wondering once you divest from the fossil fuels, what happens to that money and would there be something else we invest in?
Lee McClenon ‘14: that is a very good question and I am going to ask you to sit on it for a minute. I am going to sit on it for a minute, and we are going to put that in the backseat. We are totally going to get there. I want to tell you why this is important. Can I get figures on 1-5 on how much do you know about climate change? 1-5 how urgent do you think it is that we start addressing climate change? That’s what I think too and that is why I think we should be doing this. I am glad you all know what climate change is. For me, I just learned just last semester how urgent this is. This is not my grandchildren, this is my lifetime. People are always talking about saving the world for their grandchildren; this is our lifetime. The other scary piece of it is that we have so much fossil fuels, I mean they are going to run out eventually, but these companies have so much that they are already basing their stock prices on, they already know where they are, that we have to stop using fossil fuels before they run out. This is no longer a conversation about peak oil. This is a conversation about if we want the world to stop warming before we get to 2 degrees rise in Celsius is the only thing that the international community has ever agreed on on climate change. The one thing that we can all agree on is that we cannot let the world warm to 2 degrees. We have warmed from 1 degree. We have about 14 years where we can keep on this trajectory before we get to 2 degrees. We have about 70 years of fossil fuels. We have to stop using fossil fuels before it hurts. This is why we think we have to make big moves to hit the fossil fuel companies where it hurts, but also to make a big political statement to say this is our generation, this is our future, and here is what we want to do about it and here is what we want you to do about it. Here is why we think it is what Bryn Mawr is talking about. Bryn Mawr has taught me more than anywhere else that I have been that more matters at the bottom line things, that the world is not black and white. Bryn Mawr teaches us to think critically about things. For me this is important. A lot of schools, and in part, ours, run their endowment like a business. They say that the endowment is here to make money and provide the school with the best education possible. I do have the best education possible. I also think that it is not that simple. I think that the idea that you are running the endowment like a business itself is a political statement, and that the idea that we are financing our education off of destructive companies is political. So I want to see that stop. I think it fits Bryn Mawr’s mission in being socially responsible and thinking about the future, and the future of our lives and having successful alumna and having a successful world. We think this aligns with some of the other ideas, even the idea of Perry House and saying you can’t cut Perry House as just a bottom line; you can’t look at the endowment just as a bottom line. I think our generation as a whole is realizing that it is just not a bottom line and I think that is what Bryn Mawr is talking to. Lastly, I want to give you guys some touch points about what we would really love to see as support from SGA. Right now we would love it if you liked us on Facebook. We have a Facebook page. All you people on your laptops right now, I see you. It’s “Divest Bryn Mawr” on Facebook. We will be tabling in the Campus Center on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at lunch time and in the evening. You can stop by and say hey. If you want to help table, that would be awesome. If you want to learn more about the issue, tabling with us is an awesome way to learn more about it. If you want to continue to work with us, you can give me your email. One big thing you could do is attend the activism training that Vrinda told us about. That could be an awesome learning tool for everyone too. We are going to open it up to questions. Any question you can think about; there are no stupid questions because this is a crazy complicated issue. This is something I am really excited about. I have done a lot of things at Bryn Mawr, but I think this is one of the most important things I think I have tried to do at Bryn Mawr. So I am happy to answer any questions.
Kersti Francis ‘13: I appreciate your argument, but I think it is going to be an important conversation to have with them. Do you have a general idea of how divesting would impact our endowment and if it would shift anything?
Lina Blount ’13: in response to that there are a couple different things. There is a great report that came out about a financial advisor from New York who has been working with Swarthmore who has made it clear that a number of fossil fuels just are not a smart investment anymore in terms of the lifespan and the risk involved. That being said, there is even more attached if you think of value and risk. If you think about what investing in fossil fuels is risking in our life time, it definitely has to be a question of more than just the bottom line. That being said, there are a number of colleges who have not been invested with fossil fuels and have been operating their endowments fairly successfully, including Hartford College in Maine. So there are alternatives out there. What we are proposing is not a cut and dry, and rip everything out of fossil fuels. Our specific ask to the Board of Trustees that we are going in with for February 8th is to immediately freeze any new investments in fossil fuels, to enter into a plan to divest those two companies that we mentioned in our direct holdings within 6 month, to publicly announce the college’s intent to divest from the fossil fuels industry, and then to enter into a sort of 2 phases of a plan. One that has 3 year time frame and one that has a 5 year time frame. The 3 year time frame is for direct investments and real assets. So that oil well in Germany is considered one of those real assets where there are contracts involved. It will be a matter of negotiation to figure out how to navigate that. That could take some time. So we have a 3 year goal for that. And a 5 year goal for all fossil fuel companies and divestments from the mutual funds and what is more difficult to filter and navigate.
Lee McClenon ‘14: I also want to say we are asking Bryn Mawr to start thinking. So this idea of a business model – we are asking Bryn Mawr to start thinking about its endowment more responsibly in responsible investing and there is really no argument to say that responsible investment immediately means lower returns. It all depends on the situation and what you choose to reinvest in. So this is coming back to the question of what you would do with the money that was asked earlier. We are leaving that up to them. So we are saying that we are not financial experts; we are asking you to do this but they have the financial expertise and they hire these really top notch people to handle our money. We believe that there are alternatives that should get the same returns. We think it can happen.
Kendra Kelly ‘13: how have your conversations with the administration gone?
Lee McClenon ‘14: we have been most in touch with John Griffith, who is our chief financial officer. He is like the treasurer of the college, and he has been really open and is excited about an academic conversation about our investments. He wants more students to be involved and informed about the colleges finances overall. He is really excited about talking to students. If you ever have any questions about how the college is managing its money, you should go talk to him.
Vrinda Varia ‘13: that is part of the reason we have him coming to SGA in the next couple weeks. Not only is John so willing to talk to us, but he is genuinely really excited to share information with students. Questions regarding him don’t usually get asked at Big Cheese. So this is really an opportunity to talk with him, not only about Dining Services, but also about budgeting and questions about the endowment and divesting as well.
Lina Blount ’13: another response in terms of our interactions with administrators is that they have been very supportive in terms of our involvement. They have encouraged us to really come prepared for our meetings. We have not met with the Board of Trustees yet, so a lot of this first meeting is just a temperature check. Figuring who on the Board is a real clear ally to us and who we might have to be more persuasive with. I just want to say also that in terms of power mapping who is on the Board of Trustees, we already have a sense that people are going to be on our side. My favorite person on the Board that we are going to meet has said that one of the organizations that she ran out of California was sort of run on the guiding principle of unconditional love so I think she could be an ally. There are also people on the board that have made their fortunes in the gas and oil companies as well. We are definitely going into it really positively and we are trying to present it to the board as this is an opportunity where they can do a lot of good. We are trying to keep our language positive. We are not being accusatory or aggressive in that way.
Lee McClenon ’14: really we are just excited to have this conversation in that way and really happy Bryn Mawr is so open to it. We are really lucky to go to a school that values student opinion. We think it’s a trait of Bryn Mawr. So we are excited to be continuing this conversation with them. We will let you know how it goes for sure because it will be an ongoing conversation. Any other questions about what we are doing? Is there anything you would like to see? Especially the people who had like a 2 or 3 comfort level with climate change. Would it be helpful to have a Q and A session on that? Do you think it would be helpful to have a Q and A session with larger community? We are looking really for feedback and any support or ideas that you all have.
Kendra Kelly ‘13: I think it’s great you have come out here tonight to keep us informed and hopefully we can all help out. I think it would be good to have Q and A and a for the larger community, but I would also encourage the assembly communicate this to their friends.
Lee McClenon ‘14: we would love to have you all encourage people to stop by our tabling on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. We will have a petition to sign if you want to show support in that way. One thing that we have been in talks about is expanding the role of Board of Trustees Rep. Right now the Board of Trustees Rep meets with people who sit on the board, but they do not sit on any committees on the board and we think that it would be a great opportunity to have student voice on the Board of Trustees. We are thinking about this in our negotiations.
Irene Shin ‘13: when you are saying having student representation, are you talking about for this project?
Lee McClenon ‘14: I think it should be for a wider thing.
Vrinda Varia ‘13: Lee and I have been talking about this. I have also been talking about it with the Board of Trustees as well. I think it is something that we need to start bringing to the administrative level. The Board of Trustees have committees on committees. The only stipulation is that they meet at odd times and not necessarily on campus. So we can talk to Dean Rasmussen about how to link students to that communication. But no, I think it would go beyond this.
Alicia Makepeace ‘14: when are you tabling?
Lee McClenon ‘14: we are tabling from 11am-2pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and then again from 8pm-10pm. Just to leave you all with a last little piece. We think this would be a great opportunity for Bryn Mawr to prove itself. Would ya’ll be comfortable. If you are interested in this conversation going further and think that we are doing good work, can we get a hand? Can we get a vote, or something that we can bring to the Board to say that we have talked to SGA? That SGA supports this?
Vrinda Varia ’13: draft a statement and we will vote on it on the 3rd. If you could draft it by Wednesday, then we can email it out to the Assembly and the Assembly can talk to their constituents.
Lee McClenon ‘14: we will be back on the 3rd. If you are all cool with it, it would be really strong for us to come into our meeting with the Board saying we have talked to SGA and are in favor of it. Please start talking to people, and we will be happy to answer any questions. Next week as well if any questions come up in conversation. I will post some FAQs on the Facebook page that might answer some of the more routine questions, and then write down and come back with anything else that comes up. Encourage people who are interested to come to that meeting too.
Vrinda Varia ’13: I would encourage you guys to come back to SGA after you guys meet with the Board and give us feedback.
Lee McClenon ’14: definitely! We will be in touch with you all.
Dining Services:
Vrinda Varia ’13: We have people here next to talk about the Dining Services petition. We talked last semester heard from representatives from Dining Services about some of the changes we might be encountering so they are here to follow up on some of those changes and to keep us in the loop about how we can get involved.
Jancy Munguia ’14: I am the Assistant Student Coordinator.
Maruyi Lu ’13: I am the Student Coordinator.
Alisha Park ’13: I am a supervisor at Erdman.
Maruyi Lu ‘13: as you all probably know since we talked about this last time, we are working on a petition right now and this is it. It is almost done. We just wanted to show it to more people so that you guys can agree or if you or have any input etc. We are not going to read it now because it is long. One of the things I wanted to mention is that you are going to have Jerry, all of them on the 10th. There is another forum, that you guys probably got the email about on Tuesday 7pm-8pm and Wednesday 6:30pm-7:30pm. Please take your time to answer the Wufoo they gave out. They are trying to figure out after all of the alternatives that they have done to save their money as well as give you guys really good quality food, they need help. If you guys could put your input, that would be awesome
Kersti Francis ‘13: have they already sent this email?
Maruyi Lu ‘13: they sent it a couple days ago.
Kersti Francis ’13: I don’t know if I am the only one who has not gotten that, but I haven’t received it.
Maruyi Lu ’13: We will ask them to resend it. Also another thing is Jancy and I talked to Jerry and they were very open about this petition and asking us about what questions we had as well as how we could possibly change it. But when we asked them what are they doing to help Dining Services, they said they are not doing anything. Even though they are open about it, nothing is happening. I think it would be helpful to question individually or community wise. Alisha is going to summarize the petition.
Alisha Park ‘13: There are a couple things we brought up in this petition. The first thing we brought up is talking about traditions, and some of the stuff we always have, including strawberries and cream, are things we might not have this year. Things like holiday dinner, end of the year celebrations, and commencement brunch. As a senior, I think I am really frustrated. I have been waiting for commencement brunch and strawberries and cream for 3 or 4 years so it has been frustrating. On top of that we are asking for transparency in regards to the budget for dining services. Bryn Mawr dining services in terms of their total budget has gotten the same amount of money for 10 years. As everyone here knows, the food they tried to buy ten years ago, the amount of money they spent, they could not spend right now. As all of us know, room and board have been increasing at about a 3% increase every year, so where is this money going? That is basically what we are asking in this petition. We will be putting this up this week or next week, before the 10th when Bernie and come to the SGA for the meeting.
Maruyi Lu ’13: the whole dining services issue is one portion of what is going on right now. I think it is really good to start this off. On the 10th, it would be really awesome if you could ask them even more questions because there are only so many we can think of.
Vrinda Varia ‘13: next week at SGA we will be brain storming questions like we do before Big Cheese.
Maruyi Lu ‘13: Lastly, what we are asking of them to do is in the last sentence. We are asking that dining services budget should reflect these rising costs that we spoke about in the beginning with a yearly budget increase of 3%, which is what we should have been getting. I don’t know if you guys have been going to the Dining halls recently, but a lot of the food has not been up to par. For example, the fish tail. If you look at a fish, we usually get the seven pound portion, which is the middle. Now we are getting the tail portion of it.
Stephanie Clarke ‘13: where will the student body be able to sign the petition?
Alisha Park ‘13: Erdman and Haffner probably.
Anna Kalinsky ‘14: would you be considering asking for an immediate jump of more than 3% or do you think 3% would be able to catch up on the amount of budget we should have been getting?
Maruyi Lu ‘13: the thing about the 3% increase is that is what we calculated that we should have been getting. We are not financial professionals. We talked to Jerry about what us students can do to help them. He told us that there is already a huge hole that is not filled by not only just Dining Services, but in a lot of different department.
Lee McClenon ‘13: why is letter to the President and why have you chosen her and what do you expect her to do?
Alisha Park ‘13: one thing that we heard in our meetings is that there is a disconnect between administration and students how they feel about food. One thing we heard from admissions is that food bears no weight on retention or admissions. That is something that we as students, don’t necessarily feel. So we decided to send this to the President because we feel that she can bring to light her opinion in this matter. The kind of earlier portions of our petition talk about how we as students value the food because Erdman is a safe space for us to distress from academics. We do value our academics, but we also value things beside our academics as well.
Vrinda Varia ‘13: I encourage you to cc Emily Espenshade, the chief of staff. Are there any other questions? When can students expect to see this in its completion?
Maruyi Lu ‘13: we were hoping people would go to the forum on Tuesday or Wednesday, so email any of us if you have questions and we can incorporate that into the questions.
Emily Tong ‘13: can you just repeat where and when the forum is?
Maruyi Lu ‘13: here. On Tuesday, January 29 from 7-8pm and Wednesday, February 6 from 6:30-7:30pm. I will ask why you guys didn’t get the email.
Vrinda Varia ‘13: I want to reflect on this meeting quickly. I think it is awesome, and I want to express how proud I am of SGA. In this last year, you will probably here me say this about 3 times every single meeting we have left, I am proud to see how forward moving SGA is going. I am really proud to see us take a stand and take notice of issues that concern us and our campus. That is what we are about rather than bickering about year books and that kind of thing. I just wanted to acknowledge all of you and it has been a pleasure and an honor to see all of this come through this year. So keep it up! It is really awesome. I hope you all see how exciting this is. Before we go onto Old Business, we realized in our voting for moving the next meeting, we don’t have quorum. We don’t know if we can actually vote on this. We will try 2pm, 4pm, 5pm, and 7pm. It will be an interesting meeting because Natalie and I won’t be here. We will vote again and see if we have quorum. If we have quorum, we will change it, if not, it will stay at 7pm.
Kersti Francis ‘13: you guys will be back by 2:30?
Vrinda Varia ‘13: the Seven Sisters Council is wrapping things up for the year because many of us are graduating who have been on the council. So we are having a meeting at Barnard next weekend. Natalie sits on the council as well as two appointed representatives, Sarah Shaw and Caylyn Perry. Next weekend we are going to Barnard to do SGA work. We should be back in the city at 3:30. Potentially back by 5 assuming we are not late.
Assembly Vote on moving next week’s SGA Meeting:
2pm- 8 people
4pm – 7 people
5pm – 4 people
7pm – 7 people
Abstain – 1 people
The meeting will be moved to 2pm. Good luck guys!
