SGA is looking forward to a more open spring semester and opportunities to do more projects now that Mardi Gras is all that is in sight.
They have also been making plans for the commuter lounge and the Zombie Outrun 5k funds.
Vice President Jameshia Below is excited to hear what the senators want to do.
“Next semester we are looking into doing more projects and taking up projects that had to be pushed aside,” Below said.
All senators are to brainstorm over the winter break.
When the new semester begins, they plan to address common campus problems such as limited space in bike racks.
The fate of the commuter lounge is another hot topic.
SGA wants to move forward in their plans to turn it into an additional dining space and possibly another dining option.
“Twenty-four out of the 26 people I asked were in favor of the change,” said Macey Scott, a freshman kinesiology major.
Results from the Zombie Outrun 5k totaled to $1686.32.
The suggested charging stations, each holding various chargers for different phone models, would cost $1,045 for five stations.
SGA advisor Laura Knotts was unclear on what instillation would cost.
But some senators expressed interest in options for spending the money.
“It has to benefit the campus, but if anyone else has a different idea we’d be more than happy to hear it,” SGA President Jana Robinson said.
The senators unanimously passed a motion to grant the pharmacy fraternity, Phi Delta Chi, an RSO scholarship of $300.
A decision was also made to invest in the Up ‘til Dawn Christmas fundraiser, possibly paying $500 for a spot on the event T-shirt.
Next semester will see a rollover of four RSO scholarships, granting SGA to give out more scholarships to campus organizations.
“I’m always excited to do new things with the SGA, because we are students serving students and so the more we do the more we are completing our purpose here on campus,” Below said.
According to Below, next semester will be geared more towards projects with a physical yield.
They want to do something that students can see.
