Senate Meeting 10/11

Senate Meeting 10/11 Smoking policy, 24/7 study area, and more!

This evening between the hours of 5:30 pm to 8:53 pm, the senate convened. The meeting began with the senators discussing their one month progress, the shape of senate, and the strengths and weaknesses of senate. The senators were intent on becoming a more efficient, responsive and proactive governing body. (If you have any feedback on as to how the senate can further improve, please share your insights below).

The next issue of the day was smoking. It was refreshing to see the senators excited to share the opinions gleaned from the general student about the Smoking Policy. They were excited to continue this topic into the next week. The senate also prepared to host their first guest of the year, Dr. Moreira (Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Professor of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, here at UMBC). The most exciting news of the meeting was: the senate decided to create a 24/7 study area for our use in the library! Today's meeting consisted of several humorous moments, and not to mention the CAKE! Happy belated birthday Senator Damani Lewis! Overall, senate had a fantastic and productive meeting this evening. I look forward towards covering this fine assembly for the duration of the semester. Stay tuned for updates regarding future senate meetings!
