We intend to have our team selected by the end of this week, and President Veal will begin submitting nominations to Speaker Woodruff as early as next week.

Our efforts right now are directed towards hearing interviews for our Executive Team, and nailing down our Programming and Policy plans for the Summer into Fall.

Operation Graduation – This program is becoming an EVENT in partnership with the Career Center. Over the Spring/Summer session, the grad gowns will be sanitized, cleaned, and neatly hung on clothing racks.

Policy Team
Our Co-Directors of Policy, Emily and Larissa, have been hard at work interviewing OVER 20 applicants for Policy Commission Leadership. Once a team is finalized, more effort will be directed towards pitching and outlining policy plans for each commission.
Emily & Larissa had a meeting with Beyond the Diag where they discussed developing a partnership to tackle issues regarding student housing on campus. They also discussed off-campus housing surveys and living guides. A follow-up meeting will take place on Wednesday of this week.
A meeting with SAPAC is coming soon, mostly for introductions.
The Policy Team is connecting with Unit Student Governments to collect their input on collaborative efforts and policies they would like to see prioritized in our administration.
Eric and Lucas are sitting-in numerous introductory meetings with relevant stakeholders and administrators on campus. Emily & Larissa are being looped-in as relationships are being established, so that the Policy Team has direct contact with the bodies essential to our policy directives.
The Policy team is always looking to collaborate with the Assembly, so please feel free to reach out to Emily and Larissa to meet or chat about a project!
