SGA’s ornament.
-Professionalism with Social Media: be mindful of what you
put on social media – may lose positions over carelessness, suggested that
people be brought to the review board for misconduct on Social Media – bring
misconduct to the attention of someone in authority.

survey. Fill out comment cards to relay requests and complaints.
-Open Comments: Smoking in dangerous areas is still a
problAnnoem for some students (call CCPD). Sophomore calling for more parking
spaces (can only park w/decal if you park in staff parking spots. Visitors can
also get a temporary decal). Should have a strict policy in residence halls for
“Quiet Time”

Welcome

Officer Reports
-Alysha: Pen Campaign (ask opinions
about…see if there are any “tweaks” that
need to be made), Fundraiser (Both topics tabled). Constitutional Review
meeting on Oct. 30th (should make changes to officer/senator
positions and that Exec. Board shouldn’t meet for Allocations).
-Kara: Amanda Strickland said they
presented last year, but may have not attended the workshop – may be the reason
as to why the budget was not present for review this semester.
-Alex: Text box and classes were a
problem for Savory nominations. There was campaigning involved. Should we only
open votes/nominations to Jr’s and Sr’s? Expand it to all classes? Should be
taken up with Election’s Committee.
-Caroline: A lot of good feedback from
Cabinet. Momentum Scholarships. Campus would like more opportunities for
activities over the weekends. 1st years and at large members felt
honored for attending.
