Announcements are presented each week at weekly SGA meetings and are distributed to the undergraduate student body in the weekly meeting minutes. Any member of SGA can make an announcement at an SGA meeting during the Announcements agenda item. If you choose to make an announcement on behalf of your club or organization at an SGA meeting, the E-Board asks that you email your announcement(s) to the SGA Secretary Sophia Cunningham to ensure that all information is correct for the output of the minutes.

Big Cheese Forum on November 17th

Post author By Natalie Kato
Post date November 12, 2013

The Big Cheese Forum is this Sunday, November 17th at 7pm-8:30pm.

The Big Cheese Forum is when administrators come to answer questions of the undergraduate student body. There are questions/topics that the Representative Council have voted to hear the Cheeses speak to, which are listed below. Once we have gone through these questions, we will move into an open Question & Answer forum where people can ask any questions they may have for our Big Cheeses.

Big Cheeses:

Kim Cassidy, Interim President of Bryn Mawr College

Judy Balthazar, Interim Undergraduate Dean of Bryn Mawr College

Jerry Berenson, Chief Administrative Officer of Bryn Mawr College

Questions that Big Cheeses will be answering:

Housing

What is the timeline for the construction of Haffner? How is Perry House being incorporated into Haffner? Depending on how long it takes for Haffner to be completed, are we going to continue to use Overbrook, Mermont, and Haverford as alternative places to house Bryn Mawr students? Have there been any issues regarding housing Bryn Mawr students at these places?

Student Employment

How have the student employment policies changed from last semester to this semester (specifically in regards to work study)? How can we expect these changes to influence students during the next year? Are these new policies going to remain in place or are they temporary?

Divestment/Sustainability

Is there anything happening with regards to divestment at Bryn Mawr? From when the Board of Trustees were on campus, we have heard discussion about a sustainability coordinator for Bryn Mawr. Is this something that the college is looking to invest in?

CEO/CPD/Pensby/LILAC

Are there ways in which the CEO, CPD, Pensby, or LILAC are planning to collaborate in the future? If so, what can students look forward to? How is LILAC being utilized and what programming is being planned to better connect the CEO and CPD?

Access Services

What has Access Services been involved with on campus recently? What are the goals and initiatives of Access Services? How is accessibility being incorporated into the new dorm (i.e. do we know any tangible plans for access in the dorm?)

Post author By Natalie Kato
Post date November 4, 2013

Calling all creative minds:

Consider designing the SGA Campaign Decal!

The SGA Eboard has just announced the beginning of our campaign! The goals are to bring about awareness of SGA and what it encompasses, as well as recognize the empowerment that is found in SGA and the people it has touched!

Our slogan/theme is I am Empowered. I am SGA.

Interpret this theme as you will!

If your design is chosen to be on the decal, not only will it be printed and distributed throughout campus, but you could also win an Insomnia Cookie Party for your hall with the SGA EBoard! If you live off-campus, we will have a Cookie Party for all off-campus students on campus.

Submissions are due: November 8, 2013 by 11:59pm. You can email all designs to sga@brynmawr.edu.

The winner will be announced at the SGA Event on Saturday, November 23rd. Be on the lookout for more information regarding the event!

Event with LILAC and Richard Shell

Post author By Natalie Kato
Post date October 28, 2013

Richard Shell, author of Springboard: Launching Your Personal Search for Success, will be coming to Bryn Mawr on the evening of Tuesday, November 12 from 7pm-8pm. (Location is TBD)

The Leadership, Innovation, and Liberal Arts Center (LILAC) is going to purchase the books for students who sign up to attend the session. Katie Krimmel, Associate Dean for LILAC will facilitate two follow up sessions, the first after a month, then second after two month with all of the peer groups who have continued to read the book.

—–
Richard teaches an undergraduate course at Penn called the Literature of Success and is an award-winning scholar, teacher, and author at the University of Pennsylvania. In his work, he helps students and executives reach peak levels of personal and professional effectiveness through skilled negotiation, persuasion, influence, and the discovery of meaningful life goals. Three beliefs permeate everything he teaches and writes. First, success begins with self-awareness. Second, success progresses through excellence in practice. Third, success demands adherence to the highest standards of integrity.

The Leadership, Innovation, and Liberal Arts Center (LILAC) is going to purchase the books for students who sign up to attend the session. Seats will be limited. The hope is that we will launch Springboard peer groups coming out of the session for students who are interested in continuing a discussion around the book. These groups will allow you to blog and discuss the chapters on a semi-structured basis.
