Encouragement Committee- encouragement corner still seems to get a lot of use. <\/strong><\/p>\n b. Mayterm-<\/p>\n Kari will get the survey results (from the Mayterm survey) from Erika and Hannah and report more later. <\/strong><\/p>\n c. Common Grounds<\/p>\n VI.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Old Business<\/p>\n VII. \u00a0\u00a0New Business<\/p>\n a. Amy- Career and Service Fair-<\/p>\n Amy talked about the Career and Service Fair (Feb. 22) \u2013it is an opportunity for students to do mock interviews (as well as real interviews for certain businesses), work on resumes and pick up applications\/ look at post-college options (jobs and service\/volunteer opportunities). They are changing the time from previous years\u2014from 3-6 so that more students can attend. They will not be offering workshops this year, but will have a social media corner (help people use LinkedIN and talk about your professional image online). She is asking for SGA to help at the check-in\/info table\/help with iPad drawing. There are 3 one-hour time slots and she needs two people per shift. <\/strong><\/p>\n b. Alli- Sexuality Coffeehouse<\/p>\n Alli described the purpose of the faculty survey as trying to get an idea of what faculty\u2019s interest in a course for sexuality is. She asked for feedback from the senate about the specific document and the broader feeling about sending out a survey like this. Sam suggested including more about who will be there and what will happen- more specifics. Vi talked about making sure these times don\u2019t overlap with faculty lunches. Ken suggested on formerly identifying Hannah and Erika as SGA co-presidents. Carissa clarified if the survey is going out to faculty or staff? Alli said Deanna recommended both. Alli asked Ken if the survey should go out through IRB or through a personal email. Ken recommended using Survey Monkey or GoogleForums. Jacob and Taylor volunteered to help set up the survey if necessary. Alli asked for further questions, there were none. <\/strong><\/p>\n c. James- Constitutional Amendments<\/p>\n The Exec proposed a constitutional amendment (and James wrote up the proposed change) for Article III, Section 2, E, 2, b. The current wording is confusing and seems to require that there be more people running for senate positions than number of positions open. A similar amendment used to be in place for exec positions, but was revised (so that now only one person has to run for each exec position) and so the current exec suggests that the case be the same for senate positions. The current constitution wording is \u201cThe Executive Committee must ensure nomination of at least one more candidate than possible conditions for each resident constituency by nominating additional names if necessary.\u201d The new proposed amendment reads, \u201cThe Executive Committee will ensure the nomination of at least one candidate for each Senate position but nominating one or more names if necessary.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ²ÝÝ®ÉçÇø Student Government Association Senate Agenda 8th of February 2012 “When he took time to help the man up the mountain, lo, he scaled it himself.” -Tibetan Proverb I. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Call to Order II. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Roll Call\/Prayer III. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Approval of Minutes a. passed unanimously IV. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Announcements V.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Committee Reporting Subcommittees....<\/p>\n
