SGA Meeting Notes | The Wright State Guardian
The Student Government Association (SGA) met on Jan. 19 and discussed a new resolution along with planned events for the spring semester.
Resolution 21-03
Resolution 21-03 was introduced on Jan. 12 by Engineering and Computer Science Senator Gullzada Anwari. Resolution 21-03, if passed, will extend the amount of time that students have to complete their semester course evaluations, which are due during finals week. The reasons for this extension are the lack of time available during finals week to answer the evaluation and the inability to provide feedback about the course’s final exam.
The resolution will be voted on during the next meeting.
Residential gates
Resolution 21-01, which was passed before winter break began, requested for the pedestrian and vehicle gates by the Village to be opened. After a meeting with housing, Residential Senator Johnathan Ciero was able to get the pedestrian gates opened permanently, which will occur by the end of the week. However, the vehicle gate will remain closed, though the gate by the entrance to Honors parking may be opened in the future.
Arts Gala
The tentative date for the 2021 ArtsGala is April 17, according to College of Liberal Arts Senator Victoria Solomon, and the event will take place outdoors between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.
“I’m getting student interest in leveling out ideas for how we can make it possible and keep it a thing after this year,” said Solomon.
A meeting will also be held later in the week to discuss the upcoming CoLA food drive and who the college can donate the food to.
Mask drive
Commuter Senator Sabrina D’Alesandro started a mask donation drive last semester, with those masks going to local schoolchildren. The last day for donations will be Feb. 5., and currently, D’Alesandro has collected about 600 masks. However, she is in the process of confirming a donation of 200 more. Anyone wishing to donate a mask for the drive can contact D’Alesandro at dalesandro.2@wright.edu.
The weekly SGA meetings are open to the public and take place every Tuesday at 7 p.m. through WebEx.
