Kristin Esterberg, Vice President of Academic Affairs spoke about easing the difficulties of transferring students. Her work will include allowing transfer credits to count as core classes of students arriving with a two-year Associate's Degree. She is also trying to create a second community time, since a short period Monday morning is the only existing time. She welcomed any questions or concerns from students. President Gonnell kindly welcomed her to the SGA community.
Sept. 25 and 26 all SGA members will go on a retreat to Mara Vista. A deposit of $1,100 is needed to reserve spots for trips; motion carried.
The treasurer made a reminder about budget packages due next Monday by 2 p.m.
The campus police will have to propose detail work finding to the SGA, hoping to cut back on funding from the SGA and rather dipping into their own budget pool.
Eileen McGivney spoke on behalf on MassPIRG. There is a petition drive is this week - they are collecting petition signatures to keep the MassPIRG on the campus bill. In order to pass, 15% of the student body must sign the petition to have a $10 waveable fee and keep the MassPIRG chapter in the campus community.
The Zero Waste campaign will be this Thursday during lunch hours (11-12 or 12-1). Students will write petition messages and put them into non-redeemable bottles under the recyclable bill. After, the bottles with petition messages will be delivered to the Commissioner of the DEP in Boston in hopes of getting them recyclable.
Student life reported many pothole complaints, especially at South Campus. They will be fixed later this week.
It costs SSC $25,000 to print the Master schedule and to aid with budget cuts, the school is seeking to go online only with the Master schedule. The Vice President of Enrollment agreed with the recommended second community time and will work to make that happen.
Meeting ended at 5:27 p.m.
